Muntz Sues Kraschel Over Iowa Coal Use Law Violation
Otto S. Muntz filed an injunction suit against Gov. Nelson G. Kraschel and the Iowa Board of Education alleging illegal purchases of foreign coal for state institutions. He claims the state bypassed Iowa coal bids, paying higher prices for Illinois coal and for screenings with more heat units, defrauding the state of substantial sums since 1937.
