White Talks On Road Bonding In Council Bluffs Meeting
A large Iowa audience gathered in Council Bluffs for a Good Roads meeting headlined by Fred White of the State Highways Commission. He contrasted road costs by surface type, showing gravel and dirt roads cost more to operate than paved ones and argued bonds for road funding would be repaid by motorists through license and tax revenues. White emphasized the economic case for paving and addressed questions for over an hour, noting the state’s heavy vehicle usage and long-term savings.
