Northwestern Bell in Iowa In Le Mar, a hall block of concrete pavement on Eagle Street was the beginning of Iowa's great system of concrete streets and highways.

In 1904 two Mars pioneers were granted permission to pave the street between their properties with concrete at their own expense. One was M. At Moorelumberman, early mayor of. Le Murs and owner of the Union Hotel. The other was C.

H. Kehrberg who owned the building across the street. This first paving project in Eagle Street now First Avenue SW. It is the second oldest concrete, street, in the nation. These early concrete paving enthusiasts, knew they were building well bufthey didn't know how well: In 1904, the autoniobile was still a rare and expensive luxury.

Yet, built to such this pioneer concrete pavement has withstood: an ever increasing volume of cars and trucks for 60 years from the horse and buggy era into thepace. age. Lc Mars public officials were quick to recognize of concrete streets.
