County Board urged to fund local detox center
A June 18 1973 letter to the Mower County Board urged funding a local detoxification center and halfway house for alcohol and drug problems. It argues the 1650 problem drinkers in the county need in county facilities to access state and federal funds, noting the 90 mile Cannon Falls center is insufficient. It calls for a local $40,000 yearly program with broad public and official support and lists county commissioners to contact.
