Grand Jury Backs Elevator for Muscatine Courthouse
The Muscatine county grand jury urges the board to fund an elevator for the courthouse pending bond approval or other legal means. It notes poor lighting behind the judge’s bench and asks for safer, repaired structures, including a possible replacement or repair of an old north building. It also recommends better deep freeze facilities at the county farm and sturdier ceiling lights replacing drop cords. The county jail and farm building conditions receive praise, and Sheriff Di Oppel is commended for maintenance.
