Overrules for Former Auditor Prohibits Branch Banking in Iowa
Attorney General Cosson declares Iowa laws ban any state or savings bank from maintaining a branch or doing banking in more than one building. The decision nullifies plans by Des Moines banks to place tellers in Highland Park offices and follows a reversal of Lyons 1899 branch approval. The ruling affects deposits, cashing checks, and overall banking activity across the state. The piece also notes related state news on a potato shortage, impure drugs, bad egg penalties, bootlegging arrest, new desks, and gubernatorial speculation.
