Road plans for 1966 bring near home improvements
The State Highway Commission outlines 1966 projects including major upgrades to Highway 218 from Hwy 92 to the Iowa City junction and improvements on Hwy 92 toward the county line. The editorial notes the near-term benefit of these fixes over distant Interstate completion and jokes about local traffic interests. It also covers a school hair-length ruling, Postmaster General policy shifts toward merit and transparency, a ponderous moral musing on a 75 percent casualty thought, and a brief note on newspaper reading value.
