Waterlo to Pella & Southwestern railway plans doubtful
Grinnell Herald reports promoter Harris faces strong hurdles to legalize stock for the Waterloo to Pella route. Iowa executive council resists a state indebtedness of 37 000 per mile, Harris seeks 42 000, with experts arguing 60 000 per mile once built. If rejected, the project likely dies and tax terms hinder completion.
