Cash Basis For Every Subdivision Urged By Gov Cothrill
Gov Cothrill urged legislation to require all Nebraska subdivisions to operate on a cash basis, banning bonded debt except in emergencies with serial retirement plans. He noted the state's ban on state bonds since 1875 and cited $79.3 million in subdivision debt as of June 30, with school districts owing $30.9 million and interest costs exceeding the state school fund income. He cited defaults by 29 subdivisions on bonds held by the state school fund and drew on his experience with educational lands and funds.
