County Supervisors Approve Road Additions and Repairs
The board discussed funding for right of way and court costs for a road project. It authorized state aid route 4 maintenance by the county after completion and added the Wacker to Savanna gravel road to the county system. Eight board members voted for the Wecker Savanna addition, three against, and three abstained. An extra $500 from the general fund was allotted to cover tax payouts as funds neared exhaustion. Painting county farm buildings was recommended at $300 to $400 to prevent larger future costs. Minor repairs to the courthouse annex chimney and dangerous stone steps at the monument corner were referred to respective committees for action. Adjourned to June 7, 1939.
