Iowa road tax ruling to levy 1903 and 1904 in one year
Attorney General Mullan outlines the Iowa road law clarifying that township trustees must levy both the 1903 and 1904 road taxes in spring 1903.

He notes no objection to both levies being made at the April 1903 meeting and believes this reflects legislative intent.
