Dubuque County Opposes Paying For Hard Surface Roads
A Dubuque County meeting in Dyersville backed by the Dubuque Commercial Club and hundreds of farmers voted against calling a special election this year for a hard surfaced road program. Des Moines speaker Joe Long urged early action, but county agent N Malin led opposition with data showing Dubuque’s near one million dollar debt and contrasting Black Hawk County’s finances. The resolution, adopted nearly unanimously, states no further effort should be made to call a road election at this time.
