Bond Issue Eyed For Junior High Remodeling
Cedar Rapids district may seek a bond issue next fall to finance reduced remodeling for four older junior high schools. A space utilization study committee recommended pruning plans due to declining enrollments, and the board asked staff to draft new educational specifications for McKinley Roosevelt Franklin and Wilson. Enrollment projections show 25 percent higher than now and the 1980 level would need about 30 fewer classrooms. Committee chair Robert Weinhardt said enrollment will continue to fall after 1980 through 1986.

Tax Plan Faces Heated Iowa Senate Debate
In Des Moines Tuesday the Iowa senate jeered over a section of a three year property tax relief bill. Rural lawmakers warned the provision that taxes land by productivity starting July 1, 1977 wipes out first year relief for farmers. Rep. Delwyn Stromer and Sen. Roger Shaff pressed that the rule valuing farm structures at fair market value defeats farmer gains, while Shaff admitted mistakes after consulting state officials. House leaders dismissed the protest as unfounded and political.

Iowa IDOT eyes new motorcycle license classifications
Ames The Iowa department of transportation motor vehicle division plans a plan to classify motorcycle licenses to prevent riders of small cycles from operating larger machines. Director Jon M McCoy told the IDOT commission that riders testing on sub 100 to 125 cc bikes pose danger when riding larger machines like 350 cc. He noted current requirements let a license cover all sizes after testing on the smallest bike. McCoy cited Wisconsin and Illinois laws restricting large motorcycle riders to those who test on large cycles and suggested restricting passengers in the first 180 days.
