Rotarians View Motion Picture On Iowa Road Needs
Rotarians viewed a motion picture issued by the Iowa Good Roads Association after their luncheon Tuesday December 28. Ed Wesselink chaired the day. The film, with Gerald Bogan’s commentary, highlighted that traffic has grown greatly since 1920 when the first pavement went down. Town roads aged over 30 years struggle under modern loads. early roads were 18 feet wide and too narrow for trucks and cars now. Maintenance costs reach 10 million dollars annually for primary roads. Construction costs rose from 22,000 dollars per mile in 1920 to 189,000 in 1954. WWII material scarcities delayed paving with a continuing backlog. There are over four thousand miles of 18 foot highways and more than 1200 narrow bridges on primary roads, with widening and replacement projects staggering ahead. Tax proposals for 1955 were discussed to fund a 50 million dollar program, possibly via a two cent addition to the general tax or a tax increase.
