Federal aid policy threatens Black Hawk road plans
A letter from F R White of the Iowa Highway Commission warns that federal funds may be withheld for graveling on heavily traveled main roads if Black Hawk county voters reject the hard surfacing and bond issue. The notice states some gravel projects may still be approved on less important routes. Voters face a hot election with polls open 7 to 7 and 8 to 7 in rural areas, amid countywide jockeying over the primary road program.
