SAND HILL TO Be PAVED
Big Improvement is Started on the
Prairie Road.

Oskaloosa, Ottumwa and Eddyville
motor car owners, business men and
auto clubs, have united in starting
the first permanent road improvement
of the public highways in Iowa, aside
from the street paving done In the
cities.
Sand Hill" which has stood as an
obstacle and a hindrance to transpor-
tation and travel at the Eddyville
terminal of the Prairie Road" be-
tween EddyVille and Oskaloosa, Is
to be wiped out of existence by being
forever cealed in cement. The road
Is to be graded to whatever extent is
possible and the underlying sand will
then be covered with a cement pave
ment that will stand all demands that
may be placed upon it.
The cost of the improvement will
run we'll up into the thousands of
dollars, but experts have decided that
the cementing of the hill is the only
way that the road will ever be han
died and made passable. The men
who started the project are backed
by every owner of machine be-
tween Oskaloosa and Ottumwa. The
prairie road is favorite route of trav
ell, but it is made impossible for
heavy cars or hauling by this great
barrier of sand on a grade at the
northeast corner of the city of Eddy
Vile. With the roadway paved
solidly with cement one of the finest
highways in all Iowa will be opened
to traffic that will be increased
many fold by reasons of its prefer
ence over the other route.
The cost of the improvement, though
great in sum total is cheap when the
extent of the work is considered. The
contractors will be at no expense ex
cepting for cement The sand and
gravel is on the ground and the water
near at hand.
This piece of road Improvement
will doubtless be the foundation of
other bits OF work along the route
between Oskaloosa and Ottumwa and
the town of. Eddyville win profit hand
somely thereby. A committee OF
business men having the improve.
ment in hand was in Oskaloosa this
week soliciting assistance and they
were warmly received. Contributions
were given by the Mahaska Auto Club
and by many individuals and business
men. Ottumwa people and organiza.
tions have also contributed toward
the fund for the work.
