This increase to the average Lincoln taxpayer would mean about $1.60 more per $1,000 valuations over last year. Major reasons for the possible increase, discussed at length by the Council, is that major salary adjustments must be made in 1959-60 in city government. Some $400,000 in proposed salary increases, longevity pay and cost of additional police and firemen are being requested of the Council. As proposed, the 1959-60 city budget of $13,573,265 had $4,475,905 in tax-supported funds. This would have required a 15.1 mill levy or decrease from last year of 1.5 mills.

It was not known immediately whether Nixon had interceded with Soviet First Deputy Premier Frol Kozlov on Rickover's behalf. Kozlov had flown up from Moscow with Nixon and his wife earlier in the day. Nixon and Rickover were given a chance to inspect the prize icebreaker from top Jo bottom, but were kept at long range when it came to the 3 reactors which are to supply the power.

He said this is the procedure that has b'een followed in the past on other Interstate Highway locations between Lincoln and Omaha. Robert Conrad, administrative assistant to Gov. Brooks, told United Press International that he had been under the impression that the recommendation had not yet been submitted.

Conrad said he had expected a formal letter containing the recommendations.

Here's our chance to do something with the increased valuations." "Maybe we will be criticized, but should correct some of our piesent problems, such as salaries," Thorne added. "Last year's 35 increase for city workers was ridiculous. I would like to see us do something on salaries so we don't have to hear salary increase each year." Airport a Factor However, Councilman C.
