Program of legislation mapped out for Iowa roads
A joint highways subcommittee outlines a bill to centralize primary road construction and maintenance under the highway commission while county boards and township trustees handle secondary roads. Contracts under $5,000 may skip commission approval. The plan abolishes special assessments on primary roads, refunds past levies within ten years, and aims to rapidly improve both systems with draining, grading, and paving. Estimated receipts and expenditures are detailed for debt service and new construction, with $35.8 million available after obligations.

Postal pay raise approved in Senate action
Washington reports the Senate adopted the conference report on the postal pay and mail rate increase bill by 69 to 12. The measure, already passed by the House, now goes to the President who is expected to sign it despite lacking full $80,000,000 revenue for higher salaries. Several senators voted against the conference report, and Norbeck protested the rate increases impacting farmers in North Dakota. The Dickinson cooperative marketing bill passed the House 284 to 65 and moves to the Senate. The Haugen bill, reported by the Agricultural Committee, accompanies the president’s agricultural conference recommendations.
