A joint Iowa subcommittee drafts a temporary bill granting the highway commission control of primary road construction and maintenance and placing secondary road duties under county boards and township trustees.

It estimates 5.832 million in new indebtedness payments yearly and 2.6275 million for refunding assessments, plus 370,000 annually from fifteen counties for secondary roads.
