Centennial coins rise in value in Iowa
Iowa's centennial coins gain value with intact pieces worth about four dollars. About half of Iowa's 99 counties struggle with expenses under fixed property tax limits. The Iowa legislative research bureau notes 63 counties used emergency levies in 1958 to bolster general funds, with 22 counties levying a full one mill and five exceeding 90 percent of the allowed amount. Ray H Unnempson of the Iowa commerce commission advocates civil service for state workers amid criticism of fundraising through the Unity Club by employees.

New Postal Regulations Bring Complications
Under the new postal regulations a publisher must pay eight cents for every notice the department issues for a change of address. This is five cents more than before July 1 and means a loss to the publisher if you do not notify him when you move to a new address. Your notice should be sent at least two weeks before you move. Please help, and be sure to send your new address in plenty of time. Ketters without sufficient postage also cost five cents in addition to the postage due.
