STATE NEWS Nebraska 4-H club boys and girls have established a nineteen-year record of "no accidents" during club week. Nurses recently examined those attending the twentieth annual 4-H club week at Lincoln and other precautions were being taken to preserve the record intact for another year. Work on the Pawnee lake project near Guide Rock, under way for several weeks, has been practically completed. For several days springs, which will provide the water, have been turned into lake, which when filled, will cover an area of about 35 acres. A scenic road has been cut in the hills along the north side of the lake, winding through the trees for a half mile to connect with the main road at the head of the lake. Funds were raised by local subscription. State Treasurer George E. Hall recently announced purchase of $1,000,000 of U. S. treasury bills with current state funds on hand. Hall has been worried about finding a place to deposit state balances, large at this time of year. He said the bills will mature the latter part of next November and were purchased at a discount of .07 of one percent so that the state will obtain a yield of $350 interest which will go into the state general fund. The bonds were purchased through the U. S. National Bank of Omaha. Dick Busacker of Talmage, fishing in the new channel of the Nemaha river near Talmage, unearthed what appeared to be a part of the jawbone of some prehistoric animal. The jawbone is nearly three feet in length with eight teeth on one side and five on the other. The teeth are nearly three inches wide and the roots are deeply imbedded in the jawbone. The jawbone appears to be the upper part of the animal's jaw and the snout is spoon shaped. Busacker saw the object in the river bed and waded through the shallow water to unearth it. The new channel is 20 feet deep and the water had apparently washed away the last covering of the soil. State Engineer Roy Cochran recently reported maintenance costs for Nebraska's state highway system last year were three-quarters of a million dollars less than in 1930, despite a 1,500-mile addition to the state system being maintained. Cochran said part of the reduction was effected by improved practices and part by reducing the standard of maintenance in cases where temporary retrenchments could be made without greater additional maintenance cost in later years. The total maintenance bill last year was $2,282,135, compared with $2,833,527 in 1929, $3,043,508 in 1930, $2,854,968 in 1931 and $3,027,522 in 1932. The mileage increased each year. A. C. Tilley, maintenance engineer, said the average maintenance cost for a mile of gravel was cut from $439.64 in 1932 to $315.35 last year. Approximately one-fourth of the Nebraska taxes which became delinquent on May 1, 1933, had not been paid by February, 1934, it was revealed at Washington recently. The figures were obtained through a CWA survey, conducted by the department of commerce. The tabulation is based on returns from 81 of the 93 counties, and shows a delinquency in state and local taxes of 24.97 per cent. The survey covers only property taxes, which, in the counties covered, should have totaled $47,174,454. The total delinquency was $11,777,200. In Douglas county the total delinquency is $1,830,939, of a total property levy of $10,891,967—or 16.81 per cent. Delinquency in other counties runs from 8.86 per cent up to the unprecedented high mark of 80.06 per cent. In 12 counties most of them in the drouth area of the north and west, less than half of the taxes had been paid. A meeting of the state relief committee has been called by Chairman W. H. Smith for the first of June, to make allotments to counties for the month of June and to pass on matters which have come up since the last meeting, including the 14 thousand dollar deficit for work relief incurred in Lancaster county during May. Federal Relief Agent Haynes estimates that it will take eight hundred dollars a day to meet emergency relief requirements of Lancaster county for the month. The federal government has been asked to provide 550 thousand dollars for relief in Nebraska during June. National Administrator Hopkins has already promised 276 thousand dollars for special relief to distressed farmers, as an additional fund, and another 50 thousand dollars is expected to carry on rural rehabilitation work. A compilation prepared in the federal state relief office shows that Lancaster county is spending the highest percentage of its own local revenues to meet relief needs of any county in the state. Its proportion is 36 per cent, compared with 34.4 per cent in Douglas county. No other county is using as much as 30 per cent of its total income for relief purposes. Funds for Nebraska's Sutherland project are expected to be available to the district within 30 days, it was indicated recently after directors at North Platte finished executing two mortgages and a temporary bond. Daniel J. Monen, trust officer of the Omaha National bank, said a requisition for 495 thousand dollars, the first federal cash for the project, was made out when he met with directors of the project recently. The first cash is to meet expenses of completing surveys, obtaining right of way and of initial construction.
