Box Car Colony Proposed for Spencer Needy
Spencer News Herald reports Clay County Board seeks to establish a box car colony in Spencer to house families unable to provide homes. Ten cars planned on a seven acre tract, with additional cars for other towns if needed to cut rental costs. Debate centers on high current rents for county leased homes and possible owner-wide rent cuts. January 1933 milder than normal marks second warmest January on record at 32 degrees, 14 above normal.
