State court districting bill and county probate court plan
Heslao discusses a bill to district the state for electing justices of the supreme court and to create a clerk for each district. Counties over 35 000 population would get a county court with probate duties and limited civil jurisdiction. appeals go to the appellate court. The county auditor would be ex officio county court clerk, with expanded powers for clerks in counties without court. The Odd Fellows Home commission met in Des Moines to decide location. Jefferson and Indianola proposals were debated, with Jefferson chosen and awarded the home. The town offered 80 acres and 5 600 dollars, total value about 15 000 dollars. The commission has 40 000 dollars appropriated and authority to build. Construction starts in spring with a 30 000 dollar building, including school rooms for children. Jefferson must extend sidewalks, electric lights, water mains, and provide free public-school tuition for older children in the home.
