Dr. A. L. Lugn of the University of Nebraska states Nebraska has a nearly inexhaustible underground water reservoir for deep well irrigation and public use, though the reservoir lies far beneath the surface. He is preparing a report from a summer survey of the state, with emphasis on the Platte basin.
Nebraska lawmakers are divided on calling a special session to address a bank related issue. The report notes lawmakers from both parties weigh potential costs and benefits as they consider water resources and legislative priorities.
The report details Nebraska’s subsurface waters including water bearing sands and gravel, the loess cover, and a glacially derived soil sequence. It notes eastern Nebraska’s 60 to 200 foot bed thickness, 70 to 200 foot clay blankets, and the deep wells supplied by coarse gravel strata. The Platte’s summer dryness is attributed to underground drainage from porous sands toward southeastern streams.

Senator John Cooper of Omaha urges postponing a special session on banking until all court litigation is resolved and examiner A. C. Shallenberger finishes the guaranty fund audit and reports. Senator James A. Rodman, known for the repeal push, counters that repeal is the only answer.
