Mayville Rebuilds After Fire With New Shops
Mayville moves to recover from last February's devastating fire that wiped out part of the business district. A permit was issued for a four story concrete dock style building to house a drug store by John Calhoun, with Merle Dennis overseeing construction. Nellie Porter remodels a damaged property, and John Gere plans a two story block on the foundation already laid, enabling a street level candy kitchen and upper residence. Once finished, the district is poised for a more progressive business outlook.

He points to the Veterans Bureau as a starting point, suggesting 400 million could be saved by limiting grants to only war related losses or disabilities. He estimates 176 million could be cut from War and Navy Departments without harm, arguing even after these cuts Uncle Sam would still spend generously compared with 1925.
