Necessary Action to Levy Taxes for Bridge Bonds
Plymouth county faces a $160,645.44 suit brought by Des Moines bond tuin Shaw McDermott & Co seeking interest to July 10. The case stems from the June 6 1953 flood and aims to establish a legal basis for issuing emergency bridge bonds to reimburse small bridge work and dredge warrants sold to Le Mars Remsen and Akron banks. Bond issuance will require a judgment to repay warrants, with taxpayers ultimately funding through regular taxes.
