Volpe's decision to withhold 10 per cent of Iowa's apportionment of Federal Highway Funds because the legislature has not enacted legislation controlling and junkyards along the states primary road system In a letter to Sec Governor Robert D Ray said such action which in Iowa losing a minimum of 6.5 million dollars would im- pose a great hardship on the state Ray noted that such tion has been introduced in the Iowa legislature and has been made a special order for con- sideration next January Some law makers thought by keeping the issue hanging the Federal Government would not step in and impose the 10 per cent penalty However Volpe did send Iowa a letter threatening to withhold highway funds for fiscal year 1973 Iowa had 60 days to respond and Governor Ray almost used the entire period before pealing the decision to Volpe If that failed the state could order in the Federal Courts A number of other states have also been threatened with loss of highway funds for failing to enact similar legislation These include Florida Georgia In- diana Montana Nebraska South Dakota and Texas It's estimated it would take 30 million dollars to purchase billboard rights within 660 feet of the nearest edge of the right of way and to control junk yards along Iowa's primary road system with the Federal Government putting up 75 per cent of the money The legislature already has enacted a
