Paving Roads Debate at Waterloo Meeting
A rally of 154 farmers and township trustees in Waterloo heard J R White of the Iowa Highway Commission say it would be silly to pave every road in Black Hawk County. He favored paving only select main roads while gravelting others, noting most cost shares are government funded. The meeting, chaired by Charles P. Hearst with W D Johnston and A A Burger also speaking, emphasized that the highway commission and county engineer are essential to county prosperity.
