City Votes to Grant Plant Franchise Amid Contest
Sumner Iowa residents approved a Des Moines utility company franchise to build and operate a power plant by a 604 to 367 margin amid a public vote record. The measure faces further court action as Central States Power & Light contends over city franchise rights and a mandamus ruling prompts a second election. The plant would become town property once paid for from profits above operating costs.
