Garbage fuel option rejected by Iowa City and university
A joint study by Iowa City and the University of Iowa finds garbage to be economically unfeasible for electricity. The report notes waste-generated steam is cheaper than oil or natural gas but cannot compete with coal within the study period. Officials plan to overhaul the Burlington Street plant and do not pursue a coincineration facility now.

Iowa City Crisis Center seeks extra 590 dollars aid
The Iowa City Crisis Center asks the City Council to raise its subsidy by 590 dollars beyond the 2,500 approved last spring for the new fiscal year. The request supports transient services with vouchers for food lodging rides and other emergency aid as demand rises about 20 percent from 1980 to 1981. Pam Ramser notes regional economic factors and Interstate 80 traffic as causes.
