Minutes of September session in Jasper County
The September 1897 Jasper County Board met in regular session in Newton. They discussed tax levies for state, county, school, and township funds, ordered charity redemptions, approved claims for dog damages, and set salaries. Debates covered tax allocations for many townships and districts, and a refund for an incorrect tax sale was approved. The day included considering a curb and paving contract for Newton streets with bid rules and city clerk oversight.
