Iowa to Build Temple of Justice for One Million
A special commission formed by the Taft era legislature met at the state house in Des Moines on May 20 to discuss plans for a new Temple of Justice. Chief Justice Scott M. Ladd chairs the panel with senators Kimball of Council Bluffs and Haskell of Cedar Rapids and representatives Moore of Guthrie and Hauge of Polk. The building will house the supreme court, law library, attorney general, clerk of the supreme court, and railroad commission offices. State Law Librarian A. J. Smal summarized modern state court houses with costs from 500,000 to above 2,000,000 dollars. Iowa’s building cost is set at 1,000,000 dollars, with plans and location possibly decided this summer, though the contract may follow later.
