Iowa Primary Roads Bond Vote Prompted by Constitution
The article argues voters should approve bonds for state primary roads to meet constitutional requirements. It notes the clause requires a direct annual tax to pay interest and principal within 20 years, though funds may come from auto and gas taxes rather than property tax. It cites eight million dollars available for interest and debt service and forecasts bond retirement by 1940, urging support to pave primaries and avoid property tax burdens.
