Nebraska Gravel Roads Debate Ends In Draw
A dispute between Nebraska and federal highway officials over naming gravel roads ends in a draw. Nebraska maintains its gravel roads are not sand clay, while federal experts suggest the term sand clay for Nebraska roads. Roy Cochran opposes changing the name as long as the roads are known locally as gravel. The state continues building gravel highways and awaits federal aid checks for sand clay roads.
