Gas Tax Petition Could Delay Panhandle Highway Work
Nebraska's seven cent gasoline tax faces a petition drive that could delay over 3.5 million dollars of highway projects in eleven Panhandle counties. Officials warn an 18 month setback to the state's highway program, risking Western Nebraska improvements including a nine mile stretch on Highway 30 from Bushnell west. Governor Ross argues those signatures would hinder a modern integrated system.

No Major Shifts Seen in Nebraska Oil Rules
State Geologist E C Reed told about fifty oil men at the Yendis Cafe there would be no radical changes in Nebraska oil and gas regulations.

Government cuts down payment rules for FHA insured homes
The government halves the minimum down payment for FHA insured homes and raises FHA loan interest to 5.4 percent while imposing strict limits on mortgage discount or premium charges by FHA and VA. FNMA posts new pricing for FHA and VA mortgages as housing officials say the moves aim to push funds to lower priced homes without inflating inflation. Sidney builders welcome the regulation, noting it should revive stalled deals though some hoped for even lower rates.
