Road board proposal to take township roads under county control
Nearly all 150 officials at a late Iowa road hearing backed shifting township roads to county boards for improved efficiency and fairness. William Crawford of the commission outlined tentative recommendations to Governor Hammill and lawmakers for a new secondary road law, noting such reform would ease credit handling and extend equipment credits while keeping trustees active on health and select duties. The plan envisions county trunk lines connecting across counties under Iowa highway commission supervision, with locality upgrades aimed at common benefit.
