Good Roads and Health Policy Endorsed by Kansas Board
The Kansas State Board of Health endorses highway improvements linking good roads to better health. They argue that tidy roadside growth prevents disease insects, proper ditching aids drainage, oiling reduces dust and larvae, and dry roads keep feet dry to prevent colds, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. The report adds roads foster better temper and fewer injuries, noting fewer incidents on well maintained routes.
