IOWA DOES GOOD ROAD WORK
Lincoln Highway Official Is Pleased
With Progress-Each County Pre-
pairing to Aid.

That good work is being done In
the improvement of the Lincoln high
way through Iowa is the assertion of
81. G. Ostermann, field secretary of the
Lincoln Highway association. Mr..
Ostermann recently made a trip of in
spection through the Hawkeye state
and the results were more than satiS-
factory to him.
On his journey across the state the
Lincoln highway official was accom-
panied by D. e. Goodell of Tama, Ia,
state consul Of the Lincoln Highway
association, and Thomas II. MacDon-
aid, J. w. Holden and 81. c. Beard Of
the Iowa state highway commission.
Enthusiastic and well-attended Lin
coin highway meetings were held at
numerous points across the state;
splendid program Of Lincoln highway
Improvement was revealed by the re-
ports submitted at these meetings.
Covering the most important develop
ments, Mr.. Ostermann states:
Seventeen miles of the Lincoln
highway in Clinton county have al
ready been graveled with federal aid
funds: applications for federal aid
funds have also been made by Cedar
and Pottawattamie counties, and sim
liar applications will be filed in the
immediate future by Linn, Tama, Ben:
ton and probably Crawford counties"
A Lincoln highway Seeding mile is
now under way In Linn county, and
existing arrangements call for the
complete crawling of all the rest of
the Lincoln highway in the county.
In similar fashion the plans in Mar
shall county call for the graveling Of
every foot of the Lincoln highway
from county line to county line. Story,
Boone and. Greene counties are prac-
tically all graveled at the present time
and an all-weather road is reported.
The visiting officials found that
Crawford county had spent more
money than any other county In the
state in grading the Lincoln highway.
Field Secretary Ostermann and
State Consul Goodell expect that by

Necessity and DesIrabiIity Of EIiminat.
Ing Holes and Ruts Should Be
Brought Out.

In order that the roads may not be
entirely destroyed or put into condi-
ton requiring complete rehabilitation,
the government ought to impress upon
states, counties. cities, villages and
townships the necessity and desirable
ity of eliminating every mudhole, every
depression, by filling in; 1t should ask
that cuiverts and bridges be kept In q
reasonable state of repair and it should
command that every highway should
regularly and Systematically be
dragged after every rain, that high
spots may be eliminated, low spots
filed and the roads made as smooth
and safe as possible with this tenn
porary scheme to aid. as far as pos
sible, transportation over public high

the end of 1918 there will be 1000 sus-
tanning members of the Lincoln High
way association In Iowa.
Plans for the permanent marking OF
the route across the state were dis
cussed with the various local officials,
and consuls Of the national .associa-
ton, and each county In the state is
preparing to aid in financing this prof.
ecr to the extent of $500. A start has
been made In this direction, following
the action of Pottawattamie county In
voting $500 for this purpose, to which
the city Of Council Bluffs has added
500.
The Importance of the Lincoln
highway improvement in Iowa was at
tested by the presence and interest of
State Engineer Macdonald and his as
socfates at the various meetings.
