County Receipts Rise Under Madigan in Iowa
Net receipts of the county treasurer’s office climbed toward a near one million annual gain since Ed Madigan took charge in 1921. His first year yielded 3,770,518.66. 1927 showed 3,708,597.74 as the automobile license department grew rapidly. Madigan, in his third year, serves as president of the County Officers association of Iowa, the first to hold more than one term in 30 years. Earlier life included editing Clarksville Star, postmaster duties, and band leadership in Butler County before moving to Black Hawk County. He seeks another term for courteous, efficient service.
