Editorials and feature notes from the Ottawa Herald on Tuesday January 2 1979 cover local viewpoints columns and commentary. Readers gain insights into community issues and cultural topics shaping Ottawa Kansas discussions.
Ottawa faces a need for a new bridge over the tracks at Main Street near US 59. A proposed re routing onto I 35 would ease southbound traffic but requires federal aid and a large state share. Kansas already struggles with maintenance and rising gasoline costs may prompt higher taxes to fund new bridge and bypass.
Ottawa residents confront a half‑cent city sales tax added to the state levy. Officials say proceeds fund street, curb, and gutter repairs, but Kansas lawmakers may seek to repeal taxes on food and utilities. Removal could cripple planned street rebuilding efforts and hit affordability.

The AP analysis notes high dividend yields in major stocks, with GM at about 11 percent.
