Permanent State Board Is Planned By Governor Sholtz
Governor Dave Sholtz plans a permanent state planning board to replace the existing temporary body. The five member panel would include the state read department chair, one other state official or employee, and three private citizens. A chair from the private group would earn 6000 dollars annually, with other members at 600 dollars. The board would collect and analyze data on governance, welfare, health, transportation, commerce, land use, parks, resources, and laws to advise state officers and the legislature. A master development plan for highways, waterways, sanitation, and more would be drafted, with county boards coordinating locally. The present board was created April 6, 1934, with C. B. Treadway as chairman and an array of statewide members.
