County Row Over Ottawa Court House Fumes Extortion Claim
Franklin County Board of Commissioners faces accusations of extortion as it pressures Ottawa city to fund a quarter of a new court building or risk losing police presence at the law enforcement center. The dispute traces to 1971 when plans included a two story court facility with District Court on the second floor. County Attorney Pinet has completed hearings and urges immediate action to provide adequate court quarters.

County Police Center Use Sparks Taxpayer Battle
A heated letter attacks a county commission plan to fund a new police court facility. It asserts Ottawa residents paid 45 percent of center costs, notes a city county agreement from Dec 20, 1971, and argues city police occupancy and a $110 monthly utility credit, plus a $38,000 state grant, show city support. The author urges holding the Police Court at City Hall to shift costs to county officials.

Nixon's Move Not Unique in Real Estate Shift
The article notes Nixon, debt laden and without stocks since 1968, moved assets to real estate. It contrasts his approach with broader investor trends as Americans pulled back from equities after the 1968 market drop, while housing boomed and second homes rose in popularity nationwide.
