Newton City Council Adopts Quiet Session On Tax and Reunion
Adjourned Newton council meeting largely ignores a 13-signature tax petition on the electric plant, lays it on the table, and delays action. The session approves funds for fire equipment and hose purchases, recognizes the Hornets Nest Brigade reunion, and schedules next talks with the Post committee. The council moves to table the petition on the doubled electric light plant and a buyout proposal, while discussing sidewalk bicycle restrictions and an anti bloomer measure. The First Brigade Iowa National Guard plans an August encampment at Centerville, dubbed General Drake.
