Ten Year Rise Noted in Mower County Juvenile Hearings
Probate and juvenile hearings in Mower County rose from 676 in 1945 to 1 419 in 1955, with delinquency hearings increasing from 15 in 1945 to 410 in 1955. Probate Judge Paul Kimball noted the rise reflects workload from population growth, not necessarily higher delinquency. The 1954 establishment of the Austin Police Dept juvenile office boosted reporting.
