-Nauvoo Independent: The river
boulevard on the Iowa side between
Montrose and Keokuk Is being oiled
After the OIL Is applied screen of
finely crushed rock is put on. The
road is dustless and almost smooth
as a floor. 1t surely is fine road.
Too bad the road on this side OF the
river is not az good. 1t Is by far q
prettier scenic drive Good roads
bring town and country closer to
gether. If anything is worth working
for 1t is good roads. Nauvoo ought to
bend her energy in that direction. The
| boulevard was designated a state aid
road. Let US see that we get the state
aid, as that would be the only assur
ance of having a good road along the
river.
