Government To Lease Sioux Depot Minerals
The Interior Department plans to lease mineral rights under the 20,000 acre Sioux Depot land near Sidney after preparations for a new public land order. Ged Dale Zimmerman says a lease offer should emerge in about 90 days, ending a dispute with the General Services Administration over control of the rights and a halted sale that drew criticism from oilmen and local commentators alike.

Sidney Schools to Receive 120000 More From State
Nebraska lawmakers approved an extra 20 in state aid for local schools, boosting Sidney School District funds by 120000. Superintendent Pedersen noted no tax cut for residents and that budget decisions depend on rising operating costs, salaries, and two Court of Industrial Relations suits affecting pay. The district gets 3035 per student for 1740 students. Governor Exon vetoed a bill to share half the public school funding, and the Legislature failed to override.

Kansas Nebraska Natural Gas Co outlines a plan to raise Sidney revenues to 489000 from 406000 with an eight percent ROI and a rate structure pushing residential bills higher. The company cites rising purchased gas costs and a 32 percent revenue shortfall last year while seeking a purchased gas adjustment clause to avoid future full rate hikes.
