Co-Operation Files for Iowa Charter
State Sen. Ralph W. Zastrow of Charles City filed on behalf of Summit Apartment Cooperation of Iowa City the first application for a charter under a new co operation law. The measure allows tenants to buy an apartment house and obtain homestead and soldiers' tax exemptions. The secretary of state has not yet cognized the filing and returned papers. A six man delegation will represent Iowa at a national Young Republicans convention in Milwaukee. Political chatter centers on Gus Kuester’s potential gubernatorial bid in 1948.
