Owner sought for Chillicothe paper mill as mill site debate grows
The Chillicothe Enquirer reports an owner search for the defunct Chillicothe paper mill to resolve land and bridge rights. The village annexed the mill site for tax gains, but the washed out Senachwine creek bridge forces $8,000 replacement, needing the mill owner’s consent to transfer land to the township. The owner remains unidentified after years of attempts. The piece also covers a corn school at Decatur led by Prof Albert M. Hume with seed testing emphasis and assorted prize results across Illinois counties.
