Hickory township experiment aims to dodge bonds in Coles county
Township voters secretly disbanded officeholders after a court ruling upheld bond claims worth 8100 0 0 with interest. In Hickory township the move seeks to avoid seizure of farms tied to a New York financier who backed a road not built. The public backs the plan while noting a later illegal act banning slingshots. Also mentions Guiteau’s Freeport birthplace and local ties, and a July 1 deadline for knuckles or slingshots with fines.
