No Skunk River Straightening Favored in Washington County
A four year petition to straighten Skunk River in the southwestern corner of Washington County has been rejected after a thorough survey by Engineer F. EB. Young of Iowa City. He recommends against the project, noting it would be costly for local farmers due to narrow valley terrain and smaller affected property. All preliminary costs, just over seven thousand dollars, were advanced by the county and will be repaid by petitioners who own property in the drainage area.
