NEBRASKA WILL WRITE BONDS Lincoln, Neb. —(UP)—Conservative Nebraska, which in 1937 will he embarked in Its experimental unicameral legislature, this month will luunch another experiment, under which the state will undertake to write merely bond* for all its of fleers and those of Its subdivisions. A recommendation by Governor Hoy l* Cochran, insisting that sucih a move be approved, overrode cries of ' sockxlist experiment," "communism," and "unjustified invasion of private fields" raised by reluctant legislators. Under terms of legislation rushed through file current assembly, an apt. ropriation of SIOO,OOO will be taken from the state general fund to Initiate the Nebraska Fidelity and indemnity Company. Administration of the 8100,000 which becomes a revolving fund retirable from revenue. is vested in the State Board of Educational Lands and Funds, comprised of the Governor, Secretary of State. State Treasurer. Land Commissioner and Attorney General. Proponents of the experiment claim that the new enterprise will save the state hundreds of thousands of dollars in permitting writing of surety bonds for hundreds of state and county officials at nominal premium rates Chief impetus responsible for the movement developed in January, when all state finances were paralyzed for 26 days through inability of State Treasurer George E. Hall [to ren w his official $1,000,000 bond. MONROE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Berger and , Mr. and Mrs. \V. O. Deihl of Elkhart Mrs. Oirl AJlenbaugh and daughter .
