Exemption Board Busy Delays County Examinations
Cedar Falls Iowa December 28 The county exemption board meets daily behind closed doors at city hall to review questionnaires already returned. They work long hours to prepare lists for the district board in Waterloo under federal rules. Questionnaires mailed to registrants total 950 to 1,070 with last returns due January 17. The next term of district court may be postponed due to busy county attorneys. Delinquent questionnaires stamped unclaimed and changed addresses complicate proceedings.
