Road Improvements – Iola KS

Description

The Works Progress Administration developed a road “3 miles west and 1 mile south” of Iola, Kansas. It is described in a letter to the editor in The Iola Register:

NEW ROAD APPRECIATED
To the Editor:
I want to thank the United States Works Progress Administration of Kansas for the wonderful piece of work they have just completed on project No. 817, 3 miles west and 1 mile south of Iola. It consisted of 1 and 3/4 miles of grading, building culverts and surfacing with gravel. This road is on the north side of my farm going west. This hard surfaced road is a great improvement for this community because it was impassable for about 4 months out of each year. I believe this work is greatly appreciated by every man. This work enables a man to make an honest living for himself and his family, I believe he appreciates what the federal government is doing for him in this way. I consider this work to be a great advantage to everybody.
I again want to thank the Works Progress Administration and the sponsor, Allen county, for the wonderful road they have just completed in this community.
Yours truly,
HENRY MILLER,
R. R. 1, Box 83, Iola, Kas.
