Haynes on Highway Funds and County Paving Plans
The Town Good Roads Association executive secretary Glenn C. Haynes weighs two views on using primary road funds. One side urges finishing state paving in counties that backed bonds before using funds elsewhere, while others urge funding from primary road taxes in counties that did not vote bonds. He notes debates over bond acts vetoes and outlines how many miles of primary roads remain unpaved across several counties and the potential to complete major routes by 1934.

Paving Pace to Spread Over Years in State Plan
The state will use only 206 miles of paving funds until the system is graded and bridged, with full mileage possible in two to three years if new roads are added. Some counties will take years to finish piecemeal, Sac County needing about 66 miles over eight years, Buena Vista about 67.5 miles, while counties with bonds vote may be protected on principal and interest payments.
