Iowa Editors Press For Modern Iowa Highways
Iowa editors praise Gov Leo Hoegh and the Highway Commission for a bold 1936 plan totaling 62.859 million dollars to widen 500 miles of roads in 1956 and modernize routes where traffic is heaviest. They stress lasting improvements, not stopgap fixes, and warn against widening obsolete highways. The debate includes Highway 20’s federal designation and the need for safe, long term travel through Iowa.
