Le Mars council rejects Libertyville liquor funds plan
Le Mars city council declined to contribute city funds to Libertyville, the rural treatment center, despite Plymouth county towns approving 20 percent of excess liquor taxes. Mayor Scholer noted liquor profits could total 22 000 to 30 000 yearly, with 20 000 already earmarked for Floyd Valley hospital and the library. The group seeks free treatment funded by liquor profits to avoid welfare reimbursements.
