Iowa to Study State Resources for Industrial Plan
Gov Hammill hinted a new unpaid industrial and agricultural commission may be appointed to continue the work of the earlier group. A $25,000 appropriation failed in the legislature. The first commission, with 10 members, urged greater use of Iowa coal and products, plus locating and developing resources for internal growth. Waterways projects received support with funding for lakes to the sea and Mississippi improvements.
