Importance should be borne equally
by the county and by the cities and

or the explanation and working

session Of the twentyrourth annual
convention of the State Association
of County Supervisors at Muscatine.
"The laws should provide legal
machinery for the Improvement OF

the traffic requirements" he ex-
planned and the principal cost OF
constructing main arteries of travel
should be borne by the road user.
"a fair portion of the cost OF the
road surfacing should be borne by
the property receiving special bene-
fits. Main thoroughfares requiring
high-class construction or expensive
maintenance, shall be constructed
and maintained without burdensome
taxes on real property,
Each county shall determine FOR
itself the rate at which it VIII pro-
