Judge Denies Railroad Bid For Tax Stay
DES MOINES UP I Fifteen Iowa counties move ahead with tax bills for the North Western railway after Polk County Court Judge Ralph Randall denies a temporary injunction to halt proceedings. The rail line argues valuations are too high and faces a 1963 tax bill exceeding $1 million while the counties fear loss if not certified by December 31. The injunction denial allows counties to prepare and present tax bills to the railway.
