New Masonic Lodge Proposal Gains City Backing
The city planning commission recommended approval of two zoning changes for a new Mt. Moriah Masonic Lodge on a church property at the Ind 32 and Central Way corner, contingent on drainage data. The First United Methodist Church has optioned the property to the lodge. A separate decision denied Residential 4 zoning for two duplexes on East 18th Street due to density and a field tile sewer issue. The commission also postponed rule changes to April.

Farming Big Business In Madison County Area
Madison County farms have shifted from small family plots to large, mechanized operations. Robert Likens, farming about 2,000 acres in Jackson Township, says land consolidation and rising costs push the small farmer out, with 289,920 acres in county on agriculture and average farm size growing to 143 acres. Despite decline, Indiana’s net farm income hit a record near 19 billion. Likens runs a 550 acre corn, 550 soybean, 182 wheat, 182 oats operation with 80 pigs and 70 cows, noting farming is now a business rather than a way of life amid hog cholera and wet springs complicating harvests.
