Auditor flags Iowa consulting waste in state agencies
Des Moines based State Auditor Lloyd R. Smith reports more than 500000 dollars in consulting reports unused by agencies. He cites 4 million yearly spent on consultants, with over half through the highway commission, and urges stricter controls including executive council approval for contracts above 2500 dollars and licensing for firms. He says many reports are unused, duplicative, or impractical, and stresses the aim to improve efficiency rather than discrediting valuable consultants.

Crack in cliff threatens homes at Point Fermin
A 200 foot jagged crack on a cliff above the Pacific opened Sunday at Point Fermin south of Los Angeles, wrenching one home apart and threatening two more. Residents refused to evacuate as a crescent fissure 10 feet wide and 30 feet deep widened the area, following similar damage in October when a house fell 200 feet and three others were badly damaged. Francis McCord’s home bedroom and den dropped about 12 feet as his 80 year old wife calmly recalled starting the house 30 years ago and lamented the danger.
