Iowa Goods Roads Body Maps 1928 Primary Road Plan
The Iowa Good Roads Association proposes three bills to reform the primary road system. A $100,000,000 bond issue would yield 4,803 miles paved and the rest graveled within eight years, financed by motor vehicle owners with no property tax. The plan shifts primary roads under state control, adds a one cent per gallon gasoline tax, and authorizes state bonds to fund construction and maintenance.
