Iowa Unit Probes Liquor, Slots and Fire Safety
A Polk County move uses federal stamp records to crack down on slot machines amid a broader state effort to inspect Board of Control institutions for fire hazards. The report notes past enforcement gaps, new intergovernmental cooperation, and a 1947 legislative plan to address overcrowded facilities. It also recalls a wartime bond drive success and steel shortages limiting car plate issuance.
