Trust Seizes Muscatine Rolling Mill Assets for Back Taxes
County Treasurer Charles Gobble levied on five freight cars of the Muscatine Rolling Mill as back taxes run to three or four hundred dollars. The five cars contained machinery and building material remaining in town while the office building and fixtures were included in the levy. The Grew up dispute stalled when the Imperial Steel Trust tried to move the property out of city limits without clearing the levy. Railroad firms refused to handle the cars, following sheriff’s warning. Officials had yet to determine further action as of press time.
