Good Roads Measure Passed by the Iowa House
The Iowa House approved a road and bridge bill aimed at paving rural roads, routing the Des Moines bridge lobby, and setting hearings for bridge projects. It kept Senate form with minor changes and defeated attempts to relocate the highway commission and raise salaries. The vote signaled bipartisan support for progress, while debates focused on curb costs and contractor rules.
