Gold ex By Journal Writer and News ServloM Overnight rain in the eastern two-thirds of Nebraska, including .88 of an inch in Lincoln, was like "gold" for trees and shrubs in the Capital City, said Steven Schwab, assistant city superintendent for forestry. While unusual, rain this time of year is much more beneficial than snow to trees and shrubs because it takes 12 inches of snow to equal one inch of rain, he said. -'With no frost, the water is able to soak into the ground where it helps promote root growth, he said Rain this late in the season will help plants go into winter under better conditions. And Thursday's rain should help make up the shortfall in precipitation Lincoln has experienced. i all want a white Christmas but state Murderer's counsel ineffective OMAHA (AP) Charles N.

"If it's the same (compact) that we sent out to them, and there's no more points of contention, well sign it" agency director Charles Sweeney said Tuesday. Gerald Nygaard of GNS Inc, which will manage the casino, declined to reveal specifics of the agreement But he told members of the group that want to sponsor a Sioux City riverboat that the Indian casino agreement will contain no surprises.

While the riverboat's developers are uneasy about committing to the project before the compact is made public, Nygaard said the Winnebago Tribe supports it "A riverboat out here would be an asset to our casino," Nygaard said. "We would gladly sit down with (the riverboat's developers) and discuss ways we can work together."

Jaksha says tax proposals are shell game Tax activist Ed Jaksha of Omaha said Wednesday that proposed solutions to personal property tax problems primarily respond "to influential constituents with formulas which rearrange the peas in a political shell "game." "The proposed solutions to the tax crisis' do nothing but massage the formula, rearranging the taxees' in a manner which will result in the least political pain," he charged.

He objected to a proposal recommended by a state tax study committee that would amend the state constitution to allow the Legislature to treat personal property separately from real property for tax purposes. "Should that occur, we would legitimize inequitable exemptions and perpetuate existing problems," he said. "Until and unless spending by state and local governments are controlled and reduced, no proposed tax policy has merit" The tax study committee recommended limits on local government spending.

A representative of the company to operate the casino said it would be open around the clock and would hire about 200 workers. Neither he. nor other officials would release more details.
