City officials aim to raise the 850 foot Cedar Rapids landfill on A Street SW by 40 feet to 890 feet over about ten years for recreation. If approved by the Iowa DEQ the peak would be 750 feet east of the current peak with a 2000 foot ski run and space for tobogganing.

Cedar Rapids tavern closes amid alleged race discrimination
Ida and Carl Witt have shut their Cedar Rapids tavern after federal action was considered. The Witts’ attorney said the business ceased Thursday with the key turned over to the landlord Friday. Police arrested two men for burglary at Ray's Fruit Market after investigators found pry marks and a screwdriver on one suspect. A hayfield fire near Toddville caused by a snapped power line burned 56 hay bales and required six hours to control with 16 000 gallons of water and help from nearby fire crews.

Though unemployment benefits had been paid, the final decision requires IDOT to reimburse Job Service for $3,432 while Steggall keeps the funds already received.
