Tama County Votes Bonds Across All Precincts
In a decisive road bonds election Tama County voters approved the proposition in every precinct, with towns and country voting on separate ballots. The outcome mirrors Jasper County’s earlier result, prompting boosters to pursue a primary road focus while country residents face gravel district taxes. A light shower aided crops, and local residents T. S. Thompson, E. A. Shelton, Mary E. Bartle, and others shared visits and thanks while A. A. Shellenbarger reported 1200 White Leghorn chickens ready for market.
