Barber Asphalt answers state suit over filing fees
Des Moines the Barber Asphalt company through Read Read filed an answer to an action by Attorney General Byers in the name of Iowa to collect 181.15 for alleged failure to file articles of incorporation as a foreign corporation. The company admits being foreign but says it conducts only mercantile and manufacturing business and owes no filing fee. It argues penalties and statutes of limitations limit recovery and that it has not exercised corporate functions in Iowa. The report continues with a mix of other Des Moines items from the business and civic scene including plans for the Iowa Implement Dealers convention, the meaning of the word Iowa, students working through colleges, a convention bureau, Cummins’ possible move to the Senate, and a historical society gift.
