Grades determine a horse pulling power for permanent roads
Iowa State College engineer Dean William G. Raymond told the Johnson county good roads convention that dirt roads allow a 250 pound pull for two and a half tons, but concrete or macadam roads greatly boost level pulling power while grades cap the load. He cites a maximum 2 percent grade for concrete roads and argues for short term bonds to fund permanent roads.
