Gov Otto Kerner signed an amendment to the Highway Code mandating township commissioners present road programs at town meetings for approval. Local officials note current practices already align with parts of the law.

Marion officer fines speedster in Kentucky brief
Eily Rust a 58 year old from Russellville Kentucky was fined ten dollars by Magistrate William Shannon after a State Trooper Jack Anderson ticket for driving sixty six in a thirty mile per hour zone. The Herrin grant request to the Area Redevelopment Administration awaits new authorization before funds can be released. The ARA authority expired December 31 and no money is available until Congress acts. The Herrin plan asks for six hundred twenty thousand dollars with uncertain loan or grant split and the ARA may still loan without new authorization if approved. Henderson said efforts to win approval continue with no further action expected soon.
