word went long ways with the legis-

amount to another $5OOO,OOO annually.
The remainder of the money for hard

cost, would be raised through assess
ments on an assessment district.

graveled road is not permanent road
Therefore if counties expect to take
advantage of the new highway law
which contemplates the use of federal
aid money they must hard surface
Friends of progressive road legisla-
ton in the Thirty-eighth general as
sembly fought hard to keep the
graveled road clause as well as the
county option clause out OF the new
road law, but as SORT of compro-
mise they finally acquiesced to those
changes. Now it seems that many
boards of supervisors who can not
evade the demands of their commm-
tiles of the building of permanent
roads would take advantage of the
gravel clause. With the government
refusing to spend its money on gravel
ed roads the next step in road improve
ment will evidently be hard surfacing
And the indications are that the peO-
pie in progressive counties will take the
next step.
Delayed With Queries.
The state highway commission is
deluged with requests for explanations
and advice on the new road law from
communities which would proceed
under it. The speakers on the COM
mission are busy travelling from town
to town where. they have been asked to
explain the law. The Office force is
rushed answering the letters of inter-
ested persons with regard to the law.
Some counties have already set the
dates of the election when the people
are to vote on the question of hard
surfacing their primary roads. Hence
there is much evidence that the era of
permanent road building in Iowa is
about to open. :;
