Weaknesses in Road Program Draw Iowas Scrutiny
Iowa Govorner and highway commissioners received a study from the Iowa Good Roads Association detailing 11 weaknesses in the 1958 highway program. The analysis argued the program was advertised as 55 million dollars while only about 34 million funded new construction and 17 million carried over from 1957. It critiqued use of sufficiency ratings, noted district allocation flaws, and praised some progress in targeting funds, while urging statewide planning and interstate project cost clarity.
