Includes Gravel, as Well as Brick,
Concrete, Etc.
In this campaign for hard roads the
Greater Iowa Association has no idea
of trying to get a bill through the
legislature that will compel" farmers
along any of the trans-continental
roads to build paved" surface high
ways. The plan is to have the legis-
Iature authorize the creation of road
districts, very much similar to the
present drainage districts. The state
will also authorize these road dis
tricts to bond themselves in an
amount not to exceed a sum that can
be taken care Of both as to interest
and principal by anticipating the
present road revenues.
With this law on the books it will
then be necessary to get the consent
of the majority of the benefiting prop
erty owners in a given district that
the paved surface road be built. There
is no intention on the part of anyone
to force" better roads on the state Of
Iowa than the people of Iowa want.
The campaign of the Greater Iowa AS
ISOLATION is to concentrate the demand
for better roads. Its plan includes
about $4,000 miles of graveled roads.
