SAME.

THE SUPERVISORS MET YESTERDAY AT THE COURTHOUSE.
COUNTY ENGINEER CLARK SCHLOZ OF MAQUOKETA ISSUED A REMINDER
TO FARMERS NOT TO OVERLOAD THE MANURE WAGON. HE SAID THERE
HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW MANURE SPILLS ON COUNTY ROADS, BECAUSE
FARMERS ARE OVERLOADING THEIR MANURE SPREADER. COUNTY
CREWS HAVE TO GO OUT AND CLEAN UP THE MESS OF A SPILL.
THE COUNTY CAN BILL THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR THIS WORK.
