The Sidney Telegraph is described as a tri weekly independent newspaper published at 830 0th Ave Sidney Nebraska. It is owned by J C Bush and Jack H Lowe and circulated inside a 50 mile zone for 3 300 per year and outside 50 miles for 7.00 per star. The paper is published every Monday Wednesday and Friday afternoon and serves Sidney Cheyenne County and Western Nebraska.
The Telegraph argues for a scientific reappraisal of Cheyenne County real estate to equalize tax burdens. A 20 year price average for property valuation could balance high and low years, addressing inequities from oil-driven price rises. County commissioners resist reappraisal due to cost but supporters say fairness justifies it.
Robert Anderson delivers an inaugural address while ex Governor Robert Crosby sits in back listening. He reflects that Crosby faced a boiling mood over a Johnson County tax verdict and ponders how conscience shapes political success.
The citizens of Sidney will vote on a $25,000 bond to fund part of a $100,000 airport runway project. Supporters say the all year runway boosts air travel, attracts a regular airline schedule, and aids national emergency transport. The proposal promises minimal tax impact and urges a yes vote on January 27.
A fragmented OCR text questions missing funds held by Cheyetiné County and the fate of residents shares. It notes figures claiming at least 28 million dollars diverted or unaccounted, urging inquiry into why every county resident lacks their $2000 rainy day share.
Business Week notes a major oil company intends to spend about 1.000096 billion dollars over the next five years. The plan signals a shift from refinery capacity to production and new crude sources, with current reserves around 2 billion barrels. The company seeks long term growth amid industry-wide changes.
A columnist lampoons Marie McDonald and ex husband, arguing marriage is biological and conflicts inevitable. He mocks her allergy claim, defends lasting, differing partnerships, and suggests a punitive domestic remedy while noting the husband is a shoe magnate. The piece blends humor and sharp critique of marital myths.
LINCOLN The Legislature faces a clash between expanding governmental services and holding the spending line. Outgoing Gov. Crosby urged higher funding for the University Nebraska and other agencies, proposing a general fund increase and a potential $215 million total. He urged a governor's mansion, moving the School for the Blind, higher salaries, and a stronger Board of Control, while noting savings in the State Assistance Department and highway patrol needs. New Gov. Anderson will deliver a budget in two weeks, likely mirroring Crosby's direction.
The 84th Congress opens with new members and a heavy to do list. Nebraska plans include re introducing the Branding Bill and transferring Fort Robinson to the state. Ainsworth irrigation, Mid State Project, and a high powered transmission line are among priorities. Penitentiary reforms and a Bates report on staff and guard pay also feature in the day’s news.
