Iowa City, July pa new loop Of
the Lincoln Highway is proposed by
Iowa City automobile enthusiasts, now
engaged in a veritable whirlwind cam
paign of good roads making in Johnson
county and vicinity.
1t is proposed to give travellers the
benefits Of fine trip to Davenport,
Rock Island and Moline, with the al
lurements Of the arsenal, and the other
objects Of interest in the tri- cities; and
to Iowa City. with the university of
Iowa and other attractions: over the
River-to- River road-every mile a true
road-and thus to make the loop most
desirable Likewise, travel over the
Rock River valley route, and the Red
Ball route is certain to please
The idea is to make the route of the
loop touch Sterling and Cedar Rapids.
as termini; with the tri-cities and
Iowa City as the big intermediate
cities
The distances are set down. as fol-
lows: Sterling to Davenport, SO miles;
Davenport to Iowa City, % miles; Iowa
City to Cedar Rapids, 26.4 miles; total,
1874 miles.
This w eleven miles greater than a
loop suggested, to run from Sterling to
Cedar Rapids, via Clinton, but it
obviates run from Mount Vernon to
Marion and back, and gives the ad-
yantages of the fine river to river
highway, and the sights and scenes

work that has been let privately. they
do not cover any part of the bridges

mate that the day labor work and the
