Road Bonding Issue Urged by Civil Engineer in Idaho
Gevorre B Stone of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Portland Convent association's Salt Lake City office spoke in Flor about the 2 million dollar road bond referendum to be decided at the November general election. He urged voters to support the measure, arguing it will advance Idaho road building and attract tourism. Stone warned a low turnout could defeat the measure and pressed Twin Falls business leaders to mobilize support, including mail campaigns ahead of the November 2, 1920 election. He also suggested the Commercial Club form committees to promote the bond issue, with a likely action at Friday's meeting.
