County road dept faces rubber and parts shortage
County Engineer E. E. Larson warns manpower losses are less critical than lack of rubber and repair parts.

Pumping station bridge work progresses with piers in place and decking set. A Stony Point road fill raises grade two feet, and ditch cleaning along Clinton road continues to drain water toward the Wakarusa river.
