Paving North 19 Gave Road For Trade
A Waterloo business committee told the county board that paving under the new state highway law could aid trade. They noted the lack of surfacing on parts of No 59 and No 10 hindered commerce, with Dubuque pushing a surfaced northwest route to draw northeastern Iowa trade. County officials planned no action now, but proposed paving may be funded by a future bond election to surface remaining stretches of primary No 59 from Logan Avenue to Bremer county and from Hudson to the Tama county line.
