Marion depot remains for sale in downtown Marion
The unused historic railroad depot in downtown Marion stays on the market with a $125 000 asking price. Milwaukee Road official Waldman notes little buyer interest amid high interest rates and says the property can wait as other trackage sales take priority. John Schlotterback of Marion Square Associates remains interested but has not yet made an offer. Local officials prefer private funding for renovation over city funds.

Linn-Mar School District offers 4 percent pay raise to clerical staff
Secretaries and clerical workers in the Linn Marion School District were offered 4 percent salary increases to begin with a new contract next year. The district sidestepped fringe-benefit changes in a counterproposal to the bargaining unit which represents 43 full time and 30 part-time employees. The union had pressed for 15 percent across the board plus higher fringe benefits totaling a 16.8 percent rise. Holiday and vacation provisions were not altered. Remaining talks will be private.
