State bond issue urged to speed Iowa road program
The argument favors a state bond issue over county bonds citing interest savings of about five million dollars on a one hundred million dollar issue. It argues state bonds would close gaps in cross state highways, allow faster paving, avoid nonvoting counties blocking progress, and ensure a steadier construction timeline beginning 1929. The author contends county bonds delay statewide completion and urges immediate adoption for economy and efficiency.
