Iowa highway commission office expense row fuels probe

Chief engineer LM Clauson testified before a joint Senate subcommittee that home office expense allowances for Iowa Highway Commission members have existed since 1951 and perhaps as far back as 1924. Chairman Jo Stong and William H. Nicholas drew 1800 dollars each last year for home office rental and clerical help, while Rob ert Keir received none.
