Nebraska Highway 30 as death trap calls for action
An editorial argues official 1952 traffic death figures show Highway No 30 in Nebraska is overwhelmed by traffic. It condemns slow highway constriction, urges the legislature to pass a highway revenue bill, and stresses tourism trucking and cross county traffic rely on upgrading No 30 to avoid Nebraska being bypassed. It also urges fair tax assessment practices and reappraisal to ensure fundamental fairness.

The piece criticizes varied assessor performance and notes office facilities and standing within county government as factors shaping tax burdens, arguing the assessor’s role is key to effective county administration.
