Washington Case Against Collins Is Closed
The Iowa Civil Rights Commission closed the case on a complaint filed in April by George E. Washington against Collins Radio Co. for lack of jurisdiction since the act occurred in December. Washington, once charged with assault with intent to murder, was dismissed and later convicted after a reduction to assault with intent to do great bodily harm. He seeks a new trial as he was discharged after returning to work, allegedly due to a juvenile charge from five years earlier.

Robins Council Votes To Proceed with Road Work
The Robins town council unanimously approved a path to pave about 1.25 miles of Main street and Mentzer road with eight inch concrete, totaling about $82,000 with $50,000 assessed on property owners and $32,000 from a general obligation. Four objections over assessments were read, with critics citing code conformity and proportionality to property value.
