Governor’s Budget Signals I-80 Timing Question Looms
Gov J J Exon’s budget message gives mixed signals for western Nebraska highways. He rejects selling $10 million highway revenue bonds and will fund highway plans by reducing non construction funds. No cuts are planned to Nuernberger’s road construction request, leaving I 80 completion timing unclear beyond late 1973 or early 1974.

Commission Requests Money to Plug Wells in Richardson County
The Nebraska Oil and Conservation Commission sought a $15 000 general fund appropriation to plug old Richardson County wells that are flowing salt water. Commission director Paul Roberts said the salt water could affect drinking water and vegetation. Administrative costs are funded from oil industry revenues, not the general fund. The wells date to 1939 when oil was first found in Nebraska.
