Kerrigan Outlines Iowa Highways For Monticello Rotarians
Dubuque motor officials, led by Frank Kerrigan of the Iowa State Highway Commission, told 33 Rotarians that Iowa's highway system is second to none. He noted 102000 miles of roads with about 10000 primary and 2 townwide projects in Monticello. The plan covers 1949 to 1969 with $18 million spent last year and about $26 million due this year for primary road construction.
