Complaint Calls Attention To Emmet County Road
The State Highway Commission has been alerted to a severe mud hole a mile and a half north of Graettinger in Emmet County. Emmet county supervisors have not repaired it, despite Palo Alto County having funds for its county line road share for over a year. The road is one of Iowa state roads funded by automobile taxes, and the delay reflects poorly on local authorities, though the Highway Commission did not know of it until recently.
