Code Revision Commission Formed to Review Iowa Code
Des Moines reports Governor Harding appoints James H. Trewin and J. B. Mabry to join A. G. Whitney on the code commission. The group may hire staff and will be paid 25 dollars daily. They aim to cut copies by midsummer and likely call a special legislature session next winter to act on their work. Printing hurdles threaten delays as bids missing for this year. 474 bills have been filed in the senate with a committee to trim nonessential items. Separate bills seek to raise registrars’ pay and authorize cement plant projects by the board of control.
