Waltonian Speaker Forecasts Global Motorways and Iowa Road Boom
George H. Lowe, local road builder, told Waltonians at the YMCA that motorists will soon drive from Alaska through Russia to Paris. He warned Iowa trails behind in primary roads, cites Lincoln highway changes, and notes 8,500 miles of primary roads plus 85,000 miles of local roads with 1,785 miles undeveloped in southern Iowa. Local labor now comes from Iowa, aided by unemployment services, and machinery enables highway straightening such as the Lincoln cutoff near Cedar Rapids.
