Sidney School Board Adjusts Retirement Rules and Hiring
About 30 retired teachers were added to the payroll to meet a state law quirk, with only one likely to teach regularly. Ancel Lewis was rehired, and three other teachers were hired while a ceiling was removed from the retirement policy requiring yearly reviews for those over 65. The board revised last year’s budget by 19 000 dollars in general expenditures and 87 000 in salaries to avoid tax raises. A new school bus bid of 10 472 dollars was accepted from Sidney Ford Mercury with a possible 600-dollar trade-in, and bids on insurance were sought. The district approved a Title I lease for St. Patrick’s, and the lunch program will hold prices briefly with a future review.

City consultant challenges Kansas-Nebraska rate increase in Sidney
A Denver firm analyst told Sidney City Council that a 23 percent gas rate rise proposed by Kansas-Nebraska Natural Gas Co. appears about twice what it should be. Bob McGinness of R.W. Beck & Associates presented preliminary findings and will meet KN officials again for a final report within two weeks. He noted a nine percent discount in cost of service varies by city, with KN saying rates should cover over 90 percent of service costs. Mayor Gottschalk urged careful review and potential special session to resolve the matter.
