Legislators Seek Opinion On Long Lease Of Offices
In Des Moines the interim legislative committee asked the attorney general to rule on the validity of Iowa’s long term lease on aged pension offices in the Iowa building at Sixth and Grand. Signed in 1938 for ten years, the lease drew criticism as expensive while officials questioned the council’s power to bind future sessions. The panel, meeting all day on state office space, renewed offers to sell the Ford assembly plant and Southern Surety building. With rent near 120000 dollars annually, senators urged a special session to settle the issue. The group withheld approval of a liquor commission lease, though it would save ten thousand dollars yearly, and approved a dairy barn project at Woodward state school.
