Des Moines Iowa AP Rep Harry E Weichman urged state lawmakers to study bonded warehouses for liquor storage to cut expenses. He says three or four private bonded warehouses could save about 200000 annually by reducing warehousing taxes and rents and shortening distribution hauls. He notes Pennsylvanias and Ohios systems use this method. He also discusses state office building plans and favors capitol grounds construction with projected costs around 1200000.
