Territorial legislature 1839 pay row and printing dispute
During 1839 Burlington session a disbursing officer’s death left funds short. Van Antwerp used state funds to pay members, with promises to reimburse, and arbitration awarded printing to Van Antwerp and Hughes after Jackson’s plant value. A confrontation with Bainbridge occurred, but no injuries. Later Iowa City papers emerge as political players in securing printing rights.
