Iowa sees tax take and census clash in Des Moines briefing
The federal tax take for the first quarter reaches 226.5 million dollars, about 6.5 million more than 1953, with 90 percent from income taxes. Iowa population estimates differ between federal and state counts, prompting officials to seek correction while doubting a 36,000 drop since 1950. A cornerstone laying May 8 marks the Veterans Memorial Auditorium project, a 5.25 million dollar Des Moines landmark expected to host statewide conventions and future basketball tournaments.
