County Board Targets County Road System Improvements
The Kinmet County board of supervisors resolved to finance permanent grading and graveling of the entire county road system within two to three years by issuing bonds to be repaid over years without raising taxes. Farmers near Estherville will gain good roads while paying only the regular road tax, via an installment plan. Emmet County joined the forward movement led by Clay, Hardin, and Cerro Gorda counties, though Emmet’s board did not approve at a mass meeting. Additional counties Tama, Buena Vista, Sac, Floyd, and Dickinson plan similar sessions. The movement aims to spread rapidly as the rural roads program did. Meanwhile the Jitney Club hosted Mr and Mrs Frank G King at Grove’s Block, a funeral for E. S. Sandrel drew a large crowd at Presbyterian Church, with Masons and a Knights Templar escort at burial.
