ROAD LAW IN IOWA. 



The enactment of the Anderson road law (which becomes operative 

 on the first Monday in April of this year) and several other bills which 

 were enacted by the Twenty-ninth General Assembly, has greatly 

 changed the system of collecting and expending the property road tax 

 in this state, and we have received numerous inquiries, from parties 

 in this and other states, for information concerning the law as it now 

 exists. 



"We are of the opinion that the changes which have been made in 

 our road laws will meet with general favor, when they are once in oper- 

 ation and understood, and that they will result in great improvement 

 in our public roads. 



Believing there is a general desire for information on this subject, 

 we have had compiled the laws relative to levying, collecting and ex- 

 pending the road tax in this state, as they will exist after the sixth day 

 of next Apri] when the new law becomes operative, which, by permis- 

 sion of the Executive Council of the State of Iowa, we give herein.
