Capitol Extension Progresses In Des Moines Project
Iowa's two million dollar Capitol Improvement advances with a new park like grounds surrounding the site. The south road has been graded and will be paved within sixty days. A concrete bridge for the roadway carries lawns and shrubbery over the deep cut where traffic passes beneath the circular road. Most old structures are removed as drives are laid and long slopes filled. The circular road, once a major feature, nears completion with curbing let and paving started. State action moved paving bids to the state rather than the city council, with work to start by October 2 and finish by December 1.
