Local officials clash over authority yet near end to dispute
A county board and council dispute over contracting for an electric light plant sparked friction. The council refused to adopt the board’s unified report, claiming the board acted beyond its authority. An amicable settlement is hoped as fall trade begins and local merchants urged home patronage. Meanwhile court sessions hear cases including larceny and forgery with several defendants pled guilty or discharged. The county fair previews set for late September with bicycle races, balloon sections, and purses announced.
