Saving motorists by paving nine miles of highway 10
Good roads committee of the Chamber of Commerce and local citizens in Eudora estimate paving nine miles of highway 10 from Lawrence to the Douglas Johnson county line would save motorists about 766 000 over a 20 year life. Daily traffic on the sanded stretch averages 996 vehicles. State highway engineers cite about two cents per mile saving in gasoline oil and wear on paved roads. The project aims to complete the final link on highway 10 and is among the state highway department top priorities. Governor Landon and the department seek federal loans and grants totaling 14 080 000 to 22 000 000 to fund nine months of construction to aid unemployment and finish the Kansas paving program. The committee endorses paving the remaining nine miles to the Johnson county line.
