Clinton county Iowa eyes heavy road building this season to preserve its place on the transcontinental line. The project would improve the Clinton to DeWitt route, already gravel surfaced in parts, with much gravel and a hard surface. A conference of county supervisors and the Clinton Commercial club urged cooperation, with the club offering 5000 dollars in cash and local farmers to provide teams and wagons. A county tour by auto is planned next week to advance more definite plans.
