a recent change in the statutory allowance for mileage reimbursement. The
following will affect all travel by University pool cars and private
automobiles beginning December 1, 1959.
UNIVERSITY POOL CARS
University pool cars will be charged to the using department at the
race of 6[cents] per mile with a minimum-per-trip charge of $1.00 or a minimum
charge of 50[cents] per hour based on the normal working day.
Minimum monthly charges for assigned cars will be: passenger
cars $60.00; station wagons, $70.00; and special rates for trucks based
on total cost of depreciation over a five-year period and experience
factor as per mileage costs.
PERSONAL CARS
Individuals may use their personal cars and be reimbursed at the
rate of 6[cents] per mile except in the following instances when reimbursement
will be made as noted:
1. If a University pool car is requested at least 24 hours
prior to the time of departure and a car is not available, the Car Pool
will issue a certificate stating that a car was not available. If this
certificate is submitted with the travel voucher, mileage may be claimed
at 7[cents] per mile.
2. The use of University cars outside the State of Nebraska is
discouraged. Individuald traveling to areas in states adjacent to
