City steam to heat county buildings
The Linn county board signs a five year contract with Iowa Electric Light and Power to supply steam to the courthouse and jail, replacing the county boiler.

Work includes extending mains to the courthouse and Windemere apartments, with weatherproof insulation and outdoor thermostats for consistent heating.
