Liquor by the drink reform debated for Iowa towns
A proposal to raise minimum beer licenses and tax liquor by the drink seeks to boost municipal revenue. With 2600 federal liquor permits in Iowa, operators pay protection to police and buy out of state liquor to dodge state rules. A state license could add 4 to 5 dollars per person in local income, diverting funds from out of state racketeers. Citizens urged to contact senators and representatives as Mayor Fultz supports civic efforts. Kiwanis tests this week included Frank Boat and Ed Van Gorp.
