"The councils and the boards of supervisors will act on the applications and send them back to the commission for final action." Dickens said the number of applications for liquor licenses requested by councils and boards of supervisors has not yet been totaled. 2 Suits Seek $5,533 for Unpaid Accounts A total of $5,533 is sought In two account suits which have been filed in Johnson county district court.

HULTMAN SAID there are three provisions in the statute which make it a broad and far reaching measure. He cited wording which says powers of self-determination by municipal corporations shall be liberally construed in favor of such corporations, previous rul-ea that cities and towns have only those powers expressly granted are now thrown out, and cities now have implied power over all local affairs which may exist with constitutional limits.

HULTMAN" SAID the only restrictions under the statue are those expressly set forth in other statutes, and a provision that cities and towns shall not have the power ttt'Mevy any taxes or charges except those authorized by law. Among other things, Hult-man's ruling on the bill means that cities and towns may pass ordinances prohibiting discrimination in housing. The Des Moines city council had deferred action on such an ordinance because of doubt that would be legal under present law. THE HOME KILE statute becomes effective July 4. In effect, the new law enables cities and towns to do anything not expressly prohibited by law.

The old law allowed cities and towns only those powers expressly granted by the legislature. Hultman acknowledged that the bill had been described as a limited home rule measure during debate in the legislature, but said: "I don't see anything limiting about it except the pro hibition on taxes. The conclusion of everyone in my office and everyone who has studied it outside of the office has been that the act is very far-reaching" THE ATTORXET general said the measure probably was described as a home rule bill "because it started out in the legislature as a weak resolution." "But as It was finally enacted, this ststute is very broad and far-reaching." he said. Hultman said he expects that the law will get an early challenge in the courts. He said the constitutionality of the statute is apt to be tested at some future date in the Iowa supreme court: Hultman's ruling was n- quested by state Sen.

David O. Shaff (R-Clintonl. Shaff asked whether the City of Clinton could acquire property under an installment contract for use as a golf course. Hultman said that under the new statute, Clinton will have authority to enter into the contract. Sale of 38 Unclaimed Bikes Brings $744 The suctioning of 88 unclaimed bicycles conducted at the police station Saturday netted $744.50 which will go into the city bicycle registration fund.
