Rural road numbering proposed for Iowa farms
The article argues for a statewide road and address numbering system in Iowa to assign precise farm home designations for mail delivery and locating homes. It contends such a system would aid travelers, equalize city and farm access, and would be feasible despite irregular or hilly sections, with Des Moines style rural routes replaced by clear road numbers. The piece mentions the Reporter office staff and local Cemetery Association meeting details as part of community notices.
