Iowa primary road bond plan to raise 100 million dollars

Enacted in the extra session of the Forty Second General Assembly as S. F. 1. The act authorizes a state bonded debt of one hundred million dollars to fund a comprehensive primary road program. It designates bond issues up to 100 million, sets interest not exceeding 4 percent, 20 year maturity, and directs a direct annual tax to repay bonds. It lists a wide network of specified primary roads to be surfaced and funded, with a six year construction target and county bonds potentially refunded. It requires voter approval at the 1928 election and outlines bond management, budgeting, and redemption procedures.
