Highway paving advances across counties amid winter delays
Des Moines reports from Friday show Commissioner Dean of the highway commission states most of the Harding highway will be hard surfaced by early next year. Completion of paving in Clarke and Union counties is expected next season. Des Moines Ames celebrate Jefferson highway hard surfacing between Polk county end and Ames. Final 1930 plans foresee continued work west to Council Bluffs with 610.20 miles paved season to date and 699.95 miles by last year through October. Weather may push total miles higher if November offers suitable days.
