Coralville votes Tuesday on its utilities franchise
Coralville voters decide Tuesday whether Iowa Illinois Gas and Electric Co. remains the sole provider for 25 years. With the current franchise expiring in 1984, officials say a no vote could hardly end service, and costs of about 1200 dollars are passed to roughly 3500 participating customers.

Ex-hippies turn waterbed makers tame Coggon market
Two former Troy Mills woodworkers turned waterbed entrepreneurs run Hand Inc. from a former Ford dealership in Coggon with a Cedar Rapids outlet and a showroom. Mike Cady and Earl Rossbach say demand grows beyond hippie image as they produce hardwood beds, sell undercuts, and aim for national reach while building a family operation with a tight crew. The owners expect further growth as they expand retail and manufacturing in Iowa.

A draft previously banned locating air conditioning compressors and heat pumps near side and rear lot lines, but a new draft removes that prohibition. The council will review solutions to regulate compressor noise without moving existing units and may issue warnings during a grace period.
