Threat of Lawsuit Over Band Contest Payout Dispute
John Rapp as treasurer of the firemen's committee faces a threat of legal action from J H Lane of the Corning band over a $25 overpayment from a Southwest Iowa association tournament. The official program called for two band contests but only one was held, yet Corning received $75 for first money instead of $50. Avoca received first money on the second night. Corning threatens court action if funds are not corrected, while local firemen deny any obligation. The dispute may unfold further, with Lane planning to appear locally to press claims.
