Regents sell bond to buy Iowa City dorm for U of I
A financial consortium led by E F Hutton bought a 7.5 million dollar dormitory revenue bond issue to finance the University of Iowa's purchase of the Mayflower Apartments in Iowa City. The eight story complex at 1110 N. Dubuque St will be bought for 6.5 million with 1 million for heating and repairs.
