Senator Francis Opposes Des Moines River Power Plan
Des Moines reports Iowa legislators will study disapproval of granting the Des Moines River Power company rights to build fourteen dams from Des Moines to the river mouth. Senator Francis argues the act grants an absolute water power monopoly for 75 years, delays necessary development, and ties Iowa to future generations. He cites the need to reclaim water, and notes other lawmakers discuss public works and legal reforms as part of a broad policy session.
