No Major Highway Funds for Area Roads Promised
Karl Brueck of Paola, 4th division state highway commissioner, spoke last night on financing for area roads. He urged bond financing as the route to catch up with needs and cited a possible bipartisan construction-fund program next session.

Brueck mentioned potential US169 improvements in Paola and discussed new federal road safety standards and pre construction hearings. He spoke to Chanute St Paul group at the Chanute Area Chamber of Commerce. Ted Roberts and Brueck addressed questions about project delays from lack of funds, citing many meritorious projects beyond money to fund them. A possible Iola Humboldt Chanute bypass was described as long range.
