Iowa House pushes scattered budget adds amid tax fight
Iowa lawmakers moved to raise appropriations by about 50 000 as the House neared final action on the bill cutting nearly 500 000 in the week. The measure will return to the Senate for concurrence then likely to conference committee. A call of the house halted lawmakers weekend absences with a 38 to 13 vote. The Bergman road measure allows landowners on county trunk and local roads to petition for formation of a special road maintenance district. The petition must have 49 percent landowner signatures and the district levy cannot exceed 25 percent of project costs. The tax commission tax issue dominated today as the House seems poised to clash over budget controls. The Renson Rigby bill creates a three member board to oversee assessment and review, replacing the budget director and executive power. Several senators opposed it. others were absent or did not vote. The House trimmed funds for Iowa State College Ames and other institutions, setting state college at 8 022 000 for the biennium and reducing state teachers college funding. An opposition bid to shift 150 000 from medical care at the university hospital was defeated 49 to 31. In other notes, ten residents of the Pair Banks Home for Aged Women in Terre Haute reportedly bobbed their hair. Children in Golden Dale saved a school by hurling snow balls at a blaze until help arrived.
