What Happened To Iowa's Highways
Iowa rural roads collapsed after severe weather, but funds dwindled. Officials blame a 68 percent drop in secondary road revenue from 1930 to 1934, forced cuts in maintenance, and tax-reducing legislation. The Beatty Bennett Act and tax reforms reduced county road funds, leaving supervisors besieged.
Iowa legislators urged to fund secondary roads via 50% diversion
County officers urge the legislature to divert half of secondary road funds after primary road costs to speed up graveling and grading. The plan faces protests from the State Highway Commission while alternatives such as tax exemptions, new taxes, and federal aid are discussed to aid rural mail, farms, coal, and trucking needs.
