Solons Pay Present and Post War Period
Iowa Press reports that 1943 lawmakers focus on efficient wartime operations and postwar planning. Leaders push economy measures, scrutinize appropriations, and expect a smaller budget. Gov Bourke Hickenlooper orders demobilization of a military police battalion, saving about 385000 yearly, with town guard units receiving limited funds. A Senate move freezes funds for postwar improvements, including a planned state office building, delayed by the war.
