Klan Tax Abatement Denied by State Board
The Ku Klux Klan of Greenfield Adair County fails to obtain tax abatement as the state board of assessment and review rules it is not a charitable organization and its property is not tax exempt. They did not qualify under regulatory by law changes and had used a hall as a public skating rink, giving it a pecuniary interest. In other news, rural neighbors show aid as Adelaide Nichols reports 3000 bushels of corn harvested for Guy Fields, who lost an arm, from 600 acres, with 76 men and 43 wagons joining in the hand cribbing and a community dinner. A separate note from Spencer notes a large grasshopper sighting in a Chas. Kohn farm field, three inches long with six inch wings.
