Iowa Road Bond Law to be Tested Before Issuance
Iowa voters approved a new road bond act and the attorney general will seek judicial validation before any bonds are issued. The process requires a court test of the act, and if sustained, counties’ road bond obligations may be assumed by the state. About 700 miles of pavement were completed this year with expected gains for 1929 as prices and machinery improve.

Waterloo a Century Apart From 1898 to 1928
A 1928 Waterloo yearbook contrasts with the 1898 book Picturesque Waterloo showing dramatic urban growth. It cites population rise from 11,000 to 40,000, 131 factories, eight and ten story blocks, extensive utilities, and new streets. Old landmarks vanish or transform while city hall remains recognizable with changes.
