Christmas Observances And Courthouse Plans In Roberts
Fifty years ago in Roberts and Twin Cities residents prepared quiet Christmas day observances. The Morgan County Commission announced no special tax to rebuild the courthouse after a recent fire and weighed two plans, ultimately choosing to rebuild an almost identical facility. Inmates at the county jail planned a Christmas feast of chicken. Bridge construction on Keller Memorial faced delays from high river levels and holidays. A note recalls the first U S toll bridge in 1654 over the Newbury River in Massachusetts. Daily Want-Ads touted cost efficiency.
