A detailed report recalls a five hour session on February 2 about a road bond amendment, with 67 yeas 41 nays.

A special election is set for May while the Supreme Court of Town decides the amendment’s constitutionality. Northwest Town counties backed appointing an additional judge for the 21st district, to be chosen by the Governor with limited terms. Local social notes include visits, celebrations, and calls across Emmetaburg, Wallingford, Forest City, and nearby areas.
