Cochran Urges Hard Surfacing to Meet Rising Nebraska Traffic
State Engineer Roy Cochran outlined Nebraska highway needs for the next five years to 500 Good Roads attendees. He argued for 1,500 miles of paving and 3,000 of graveling, requiring about 2.5 million dollars annually, with a suggested minimum one-cent gas tax increase. He claimed paving would reduce overall maintenance costs and shift focus to heavier traffic routes, noting current totals and the impact of past choices.

Prisoners Seek Clemency From County Pardon Board
Twenty nine inmates plan appearances before the pardon board on October 14 seeking clemency. Among them are two murder lifers and a reformatory prisoner for causing death in a vehicle incident. Also asked are reformatory commutations for Everett Davis and Terry Traxler, both jailed for a Cheyenne county robbery in 1928. Many requests come from western Nebraska prisoners. Tony Garvel, driver in a fatal Seward crash, seeks parole after a one to ten year reformatory term amid claims his record warrants shorter confinement. William J. Henry seeks commutation after nearly 14 years of a life sentence.
