Commission Lets Out 3 Engineers In Iowa
Des Moines reports the state highway commission dismissed three county engineers at Ames and ordered boards of supervisors to hire engineers by the year rather than by day or month. A commissioner said the job is a man’s and praised supervisors for adopting the policy. Names of the deposed engineers were not disclosed. The commission also noted an ending cash balance of $17,000 for the biennial period and planned to expand the office staff to handle mounting correspondence. It urged counties to rely on headquarters as the center for road and bridge improvements. A weed killing day was set for July 15 in Dubuque County, following a southern Iowa success.
