Paving To Begin Next Week On Iowa Avenue Project
William Horrabin expects to start the second contract for paving Iowa Avenue within about a week. The early phase covers grading and foundation work, with bitulithic cement to follow, aiming to complete the preliminary work by September and finish by the November 1 contract deadline despite an injunction suit. The filing accuses the city council of conspiring with Horrabin and Warren Brothers to favor Barber Asphalt Company, challenging the legality of the Barber contract and bitulithic paving under Iowa law.
