Roads Commission Report Proposes Permanent Surfacing Plan
Des Moines January 2 The roads commission named by Governor Clarke presents a comprehensive plan to permanently surface every main traveled Iowa road without higher current costs. It urges county bonds and local option revenues, motor vehicle taxes, and a statewide bond program to fund road improvements and federal aid access. The report also suggests using convict labor for gravel shipments and earmarking auto license revenues for surfacing, with a constitutional amendment to enable state bonds to fund county road work. Senator Foster of Guthrie County may back the recommendations in the Senate.
