Iowa Legislature Faces Funding For State Institutions
The governor urges full funding for a State College building and an experimental farm, plus $5,000 for improved stock. He backs liberal support for the State Historical Society and Charitable Institutions,Insane Asylum and Deaf and Blind Asylums, and the Penitentiary at Fort Madison citing rising costs, repairs, and expansion needs. He notes delayed county payments to the Insane Asylum and urges prompt dues to avoid General State Fund shortfalls. He calls for action on Swamp Land claim resolutions and warrants for indemnity money, and defends judicial salary maintenance against prior reductions.
