Cedar Rapids voters to decide on 50000 railroad stock bond
A petition signed by Cedar Rapids business leaders asks the March election voters to authorize the city to issue bonds totaling fifty thousand dollars for securing the Northern Division machine shops of the Burlington Cedar Rapids and Minnesota road at Cedar Rapids. The plan would place stock in the railroad with proceeds used to reduce city indebtedness and attract the shops, with downtown boosters citing Clinton Iowa and Aurora Illinois precedents as proof of local growth. A public meeting is urged to discuss the proposition before the March 7 vote.
