Newton Council Adopts Superintendent Gates and Curfew Talk
The Newton council approved renaming city clerk A C Gates as Superintendent Gates after a satire on duties. A plan to trial two boiler cleaners was approved and bids for city printing reworked with dual political papers in mind. A Stillwater curfew ordinance inspired Newton to consider similar action and a sidewalk project on Washington street was debated. The death of Fred Miller at 25 shocked the town, with funeral set for Sunday afternoon.
