First custodial farm bought near Des Moines Iowa
The state board approves purchase of about 800 acres from the Flynn farm near Des Moines at 200 dollars per acre for a central district custodial farm. The site features good soil, clay, shale for brick making, unexploited coal, and buildings including a house valued around 420,000. The Milwaukee railroad will build a siding, and the farm will house jail prisoners for short terms. Senator Leslie E. Francis is favored for the Eleventh Iowa district Congress seat, with party support brewing though no formal step taken. Peculiar contest concerns a Perry superior judgeship tied to a governor appointed post and a county election process.
