Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sonia Johannsen recently said that everyone has either held the line or cut back on salaries. How much of a pay increase have the supervisors voted themselves in the past two years? A The supervisors, who currently are paid 117,120, got 7 percent raises for the fiscal year that will end June 30 and for the previous fiscal year. Their salaries will be frozen at $17,120 for the coming fiscal year. The county Compensation Board each year recommends salaries for the five supervisors and the six other elected county officials. The Board of Supervisors is limited to accepting or lowering the Compensation Board's recommendations If the recommended salaries are lowered by the supervisors, though, it must be by an equal percentage for all officeholders.

What are the city regulations pertaining to the raising of poultry, rabbits or other small animals for show purposes within the city limits? A Bill Hoffman, head of the city Animal Control Department, said the city code allows animals to be kept within the city limits as long as the zoning code is adhered to, the animals are adequately penned and have room for exercise, and the area is kept sanitary. Some wild animals that could be dangerous must be registered with the Animal Control office, police and Humane Society if they are to be kept within the city. Although they are not prohibited, Hoffman said his office advises against keeping skunks or raccoons because of the danger of rabies that these animals can present. Walter L.

LA PORTE CITY-The Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, has recommended a plan to reduce flood damage along Wolf Creek in La Porte City.

The recommendation was made after a study analyzed alternative measures for reducing flood damages from Wolf Creek. La Porte City requested the study. The report made by the Corps evaluates the engineering, economic and environmental feasibility of a variety of alternatives. The recommendation of the "most economically and environmentally justifiable plan" is to construct a barrier levee and modify a bridge and the creek's channel. The levee would be located on the east side of Wolf Creek, south of residential development, and midway between the creek and U.S.

Highway 218. The abandoned Waterloo, Cedar Falls and Northern Railroad bridge would be modified by removing the center span. The channel modification involves the removal of about 14,100 cubic yards of material from the channel. Arthur J. Klingerman, chief of the planning division of the Corps, said no significant social, economic or environmental impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed actions.

Copies of the detailed project report are available for review at the libraries of La Porte City, Vinton and Waterloo.
