George H. Gallup Road in use Aerial view looks west from above Mulberry Road, showing recently-completed George H. Gallup Road, which parallels Highway 30 on south. Flack Avenue runs north and south across service road near its west end. North Jefferson development well underway Development of Jefferson's northern extremity along new Highway 30 is well under (way with a service road for the high-, way completed.

The service road, named George H. Gallup Road, will provide access 'from Highway 30 to businesses paralleling th highway in the north area of. Jefferson. It was necessary because a business cannot locate directly on Highway 30, which is "limited access."

A new motel and restaurant are under construction near the west end of the service road on opposite sides of Flack Avenue, which runs north and across the service road, connecting with Highway .30 running south several hundred feet.

County budget estimate cuts conservation requests heavily The Greene County Conservation Commission's request for $86,000 in operating funds for 1960 is cut to $17,000 in the estimated I960 county budget recently approved by the board of supervisors.

A $5,000 fund balance the conservation group expects to have at the end of this year plus $31,000 requested for next year made the total of $36,000 in operating funds asked for conservation. Voted i being hy county voters in "195S. the Commission received its first year of operation, 1959. It expects to have spent only about half that amount by the year's end. State law allows up to a one- mill levy for conservation purposes.

In Greene County a mill levy will raise about $40,000. The estimated county budget, including the budget allotment for conservation, is subject to a public hearing scheduled for 2 p.m. Aug. 11 in the supervisor's room at the courthouse. In cutting the conservation budget request, the supervisors did not specify which amounts within the budget request were cut; Commission members will decide how money alloted for conservation is used.

Commission a i a Richardson said the cut will probably make it necessary for the group to give up pla'ns for a full- time county conservation director. A total of $4,500 had been requested for this. The Commission had planned to use $10,000 "of an increased budget next year to make surveys and do other work toward getting a large lake on the Raccoon River in Greene County. Such a lake is under consideration for construction near Jefferson by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Richardson said the Commission's lake work plans would probably have to be curtailed somewhat with the $17,000 budget. However, he said, the Commission has not met recently and conservation funds use is up to the whole group. supervisors exprested doubt about the legality of the Commission's budgeting $10,000, which was not earmarked for a definite expenditure. In its budget request the Commission asked these amounts for other conservation work: Assistance to county recreation facilities, a game and fish improvement, river i (mainly for boat on Raccoon River), park malnten- ance and improvement, land acquisition, junior conservation education, Commission expenses, $1,000. The Commission is considering purchase of 20 acres of ground on the Raccoon River southwest of Farlin.

This would be used to provide free access to the river and a camping and fishing; ground. Park money would be used mainly at Hendersons Camp, and Squirrel Hollow. Road improve-' ment and other, work is scheduled at the latter county park this summer. Members of the Commission are: Richardson, Kenneth Juergens, Dick Seaman and Charlet J. Keep children off N.

Melson, Jefferson attorney and former county attorney, has been by the District Court here, to represent the Greene County Board of Supervisors in a suit filed against it by a former head of the Greene County Hospital, T. Ernest Johnston.
