Local Notes on Grafton Board of Trade and Clemency
Grafton considers forming a Taylor County Board of Trade at the courthouse with active civic backing. The editorial urges broad public turnout, calling for renewed business ties, factory revival, and sustained employment to lift local economy. It contrasts opinions on a national crime commission led by top lawyers with the need for practical criminal law administration expertise.
