Davenport Rotary hears critique of Hammill road plan
John F. D. Rue of Burlington, president of the Iowa Good Roads association, condemns Governor Hammill's gravel road program as political and costly. He urges an $85 million state bond issue to fund paved roads, claiming $1,500 per mile yearly upkeep for gravel versus $60 to $80 for paved roads and predicts gravel loss on heavy routes within a year. He insists bonds could be paid in 15 years without tax hikes.
