The board of review remains split over last year's central location property assessments, with two supervisors seeking higher rates for end-of-street properties to balance the budget. Mayor Ferguson is pressed to appoint a disinterested fifth member, but the city charter offers no emergency provision, delaying a resolution. Decoration Day plans outline Memorial Day events by C Colegrove Post G A R, processions, and cemetery services with local church and civic groups contributing. A separate vote at Coldwater Presbyterian church urged secession from Monroe Presbytery, keeping Rev. H P Collins as pastor under the current salary due to theological differences.
