An Excellent Bill Presented by Senator Lisle
An Excellent Bill Presented by Senator Lisle Bravo to Senator Vern Liste who has introduced a bill to permit municipalities to see bonds to provide funds for a building for a new industry. This may be a strong tool for obtaining new industry without danger of raising property taxes. It has been tried in Kentucky and proved effective. We hope the General Assembly will give the Proposal favorable and quick action and thus permit Iowa's towns and cities to offer another inducement to new industry as The best preparation for the future is the now well seen to and the last duty done.
