Oil Makes Best Roads In Warrensburg remarks
A C McKibben Secretary of the State Highway Commission shared new highway ideas after returning from Washington. He said federal experts favor earth roads graded with culverts and bridges, oiling and limestone screenings can replace rock roads at lower cost, and that oiling may qualify for state and federal aid with tolls on bridges. Johnson County hopes federal support applies to future work, reflecting a shift toward economical road construction.
