Soft roads halt bus and traffic across regions
News from Nashua and Treer report widespread soft roads delaying buses and medical calls. Highways between Plainfield and Waverly are nearly impassable except for teams and wagons. Physicians struggle to reach rural patients, using wagons and horses when needed. In Treer, only three autos arrived at a farm sale while many attendees rode by horse or wagon. Additional calls describe multiple towns unable to obtain horses for medical trips, slowing emergency service. Plans for a U S Mexico City air mail route are being considered following Lindbergh’s route.
