Ottawa Police to buy statute book for headquarters

Ottawa Steel denies rumor of relocation and plans a new plant south of the North Main viaduct to replace the flooded site at First and Walnut. Drummer Ernest Lavoie objects to band blame for rock music as the bandstand floor’s instability causes stands to wiggle. Comet Mikow, discovered Aug. 1, is visible in the northwest after dark, brighter than last spring’s comet and visible until about 9:30 p.m.
