Continued discussion on cost structures notes higher living costs and labor competition raise wages in building materials industries.

The county board reviews election canvas with updates on hard surfacing and bond issues, outlining paving and graveling plans for roads and the need to follow legal procedures. Notices invite drainage bids for Walnut drainage system No 1, with specs for multiple tile sizes and depths, due by July 2 1919.
