Oil Industry Levy Rises in Nebraska
The Nebraska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission raises its industry-wide levy from one mill to 1.75 mills starting January 1. The levy funds the commission’s operating income, with the 1965 legislature setting a budget of 229,730 dollars, while reserves allowed a slower rollout and a prior period of full elimination. The state’s oil output now averages about 45,000 barrels daily versus earlier higher production.

Federal funds cut to Sidney schools hit by phase out
The Sidney public schools face sharp cuts in Title 874 supplemental funds as Sioux Army Depot phases out. Last year the district received over $80,000. this year about $42,000 is anticipated, though Superintendent Russell Pedersen will seek additional phase out money. Already $31,500 has been received with the remainder to come later. The cut does not cover the influx of services needed for children of federal workers. Pedersen plans to press for more aid.
