State Sells Old Lake Bed Near Council Bluffs
Iowa cleared 300 by selling nine acres along the Illinois Central railroad north of Council Bluffs, largely in Boyer Lake. The 200 foot right of way area was bought under an abandoned river beds law, intended to preempt others from claiming the bed. In nearby West Council Bluffs, 200 acres in a freight yard district are tied up in litigation after C R Hannan and Jacob Sims moved to purchase and paid on the land.
