Edison Rates Water Power A Bit Part In Nation's Power
Edison argues water power is overrated as a major energy source. He notes 80 percent of undeveloped hydro lies in the West and Pacific, with most demand east of the Mississippi. Transmission to the Atlantic is impractical, making steam plants in load centers more economical. He cites coal efficiency and the need for fuel ties, warning water power cannot alone meet future power needs.

Nebraska State Highway Budget Request for 13 Million
Roy Cochran secretary of the Nebraska Department of Public Works submitted a budget request of $13,037,380 for highway construction and maintenance for the next fiscal biennium.

Cochran projects $3,550,000 from gasoline tax revenue will be required over the next two years.
