Need More R E A Funds In County
Winnebago County residents urge rural electrification supporters to seek extra appropriations. Project Superintendent Glenn Bergland notes Iowa may have only about two and a half million dollars for the next year without new funding, as last year redirected $100 million from WPA and other relief to rural cooperatives. Iowa counties have requests exceeding a half million for REA projects, risking unmet needs without congressional action.
