Iowa and New Hampshire Laws
In Iowa there are two funds used
In the construction aud repair of
roads-the county road fund and the
general township fund The county
road fund is derived from a tax Of not
more than one mill on the dollar on
all taxable property in the county
Including all taxable property in cities
and incorporated towns The township
road fund Is derived from tax OF
not less than one mill nor more than
four mills on the dollar on all taxa
Bile property In the township.
The New Hampshire road fund is
appropriated by the annual town
meetings. The rate OF road levy must
not be less than one-fourth of l per
cent of the valuation of the polls and
ratable estates on which other taxes
are assessed by the towns Each town
may raise as much more as may be
deemed necessary providing that no
town may be required TO raise more
than $50 per mile for repair Of roads
