Bonus Applications Open in All 99 Iowa Counties
The World War II bonus program is now available in every Iowa county courthouse. The State Bonus Board, headquartered in Des Moines, expects processing to begin by June and some payments by midsummer, though most by late summer or early fall. The board plans to staff 80 to 90 workers and will include U.S. Savings Bond materials with each veteran’s check. Senators Skourup and Vittetoe cast decisive votes on a pay raise, delivering a narrow 26 to 0 tally for a $2,000 raise. Lt. Gov. Evans notes rotating presidencies to expose more senators to chair duties. Building and loan associations report record assets and growing loans, with 1948 totals topping prior years and construction loans rising while home purchase lending declines.
