State highway officials may be urged to consider rerouting primary road No. 38 into the city via Isett avenue. Proponents cite fewer railroad crossings, a shorter Muscatine to U.S. 6 connection, and paving gains from city limits to Monroe Street. County engineer Halbfass notes merit but no full investigation yet.

Iowa Legislators Deprived of Pay
Iowa lawmakers of the 45th General Assembly returned home to study how they would be paid after the Supreme Court declared the expense account act unconstitutional. They cannot draw salary until a per diem law is enacted, with potential elimination of the speaker's extra $1,000. A per diem plan could reuse last session's pay, but funds must come from unappropriated treasury money, raising questions about available funds through July 1.
