Corvalville dam plan stirs Iowa debate in 1930s
Iowa eyes a $6 million federal dam on the Iowa River spanning Johnson and Iowa counties. The attorney general says federal construction can proceed without state approval, but the conservation commission has already rejected the plan citing backwash into Lake MacBride. WPA administrator George J. Keller supports the project for water improvements and jobs, noting Iowa City would gain cleaner water. The piece also notes political maneuvering around Col. Hanford MacNider and a ninth district straw vote showing Dewey leading.
