Labor Assembly moves to remove toll on bridge
The Trades and Labor assembly last night acted to abandon the toll on the bridge to South Sioux City. A resolution seeks city council action to buy the bridge, appraise and condemn, or obtain construction rights for a new Missouri river span. Sioux City may pay half the purchase if Dakota county covers the other half. Fred Martin said the measure has backing from the Nebraska side business leaders. Sioux City has paid 287000 toward the bridge tolls, and Iowa law would allow appraisal and condemnation. The assembly also credentialed ex Mayor Wallace M Short to represent at the Robert M La Follette presidential approval convention in Cleveland on July 4.
