Haynes Explains State Road Bond Advantages
Sioux City June 29 Col Glenn C Haynes secretary of the Iowa Good Roads association says by autumn two thirds of Iowa counties representing three quarters of the population will have voted bonds totaling about 66 million dollars to pave roads. He notes 41 counties have voted about 48 million, five counties have defeated bonds, and discusses potential state bond issues to fund primary road expansion and current county bonds under evolving state law. The plan favors faster completion, lower interest, and unified state highway planning, with limits on county bonds and anticipated gasoline tax receipts guiding future funding.
