State aids limits on Iowa road paving plans
State Engineer White of the Iowa highway commission said counties expecting state to pave extensive stretches on their own are doomed to disappointment. He noted funds in the state development fund will not cover extensive state roadwork, and aid will go to counties willing to help themselves. The law becomes effective next November, with no firm policy yet. Cedar county could receive 200,001 and Palo Alto 192,000 on projects totaling 750,000, but state aid will not exceed 4,000. Palo Alto has no current paving plans, though hopes remain for its federal share. other Southern Iowa counties should not expect funds from local citizens. In Storm Lake, Bob Healy, attorney for Caskey in bootlegging cases, filed for 1,000 attorney fees as Caskey disappeared after a raid by Sheriff Hoffman.
