Iowa panel endorses $13 million capital plan for state institutions
The Iowa interim committee recommends a $7,663,163 capital improvements package for state institutions and $5,192,000 for five Board of Education schools. It backs projects at all 15 institutions, with new facilities for patients at hospitals for the insane and inebriates and better employee quarters. It urges funding from specific state tax balances and seeks federal matching funds where available. It also calls for more doctors and nurses, streamlined administration, and a sinking fund for depreciation.

Iowa postwar commission weighs no World War II bonus
The Iowa postwar rehabilitation commission's service committee reportedly favors recommending no state bonus for World War II veterans. A tax exemption of 500 per year on property for qualified veterans is approved, already saving about 900,000 annually for World War I, Spanish and Civil War veterans. If extended to World War II veterans, the program could cost up to 2.5 million yearly within ten years.
