Grave diggers at work under armed guards in Kansas City cemeteries
Armed guards posted in two Kansas City cemeteries began work after a strike halted burials since August 5. Cemetery operator J F Eubank said the crews would continue until all accumulated bodies are buried. Also, state tax officials approved $40 000 poor relief bonds for Leavenworth County and allowed additional mill levies for Wichita and Osborne County, with Scammon seeking to raise general expenses up to 25 percent over the levy limit. Representatives called for a dam and reservoir survey at Point-of-Rocks on the Cimarron River in Morton County. Oklahoma's single primary system move was cleared after a referendum petition against a law repeal was deemed invalid by the Secretary of State.
