Five-Sixths of Paying Costs Go to Labor on Iowa Roads
A Iowa analysis by Fred R. White claims labor will receive about five times more in dollars from the $100,000,000 road program than cement manufacturers. The report breaks down one mile of pavement costs, showing labor shares at 62.34 percent and cement material labor at 10.46 percent, urging voters to support the November 6 bond issue. Colonel Glenn C. Havens cites unemployment relief and broad citizen benefits if the road plan passes.
