Bond Issue Seen Saving Interest for State Roads
Senator Arch McFarlane told Rotary members that a $100 million state bond issue to complete Iowa’s primary road system would save about $5 million in interest over 20 years versus local option funding. He cited White’s figures on vehicle costs and outlined funding, timing, and geographic disparities, arguing the plan avoids direct taxes and would finish paving 4,933 miles by 1934 with remaining miles gravel surfaced.
