School House Proposition Carried in Pella Election
Last Monday over 500 voters cast ballots on a school building proposition and local races. The outcome favored the district for a $15,000 school, with separate results for treasurer and trustee candidates. A later note suggests most voters misunderstood the debt implications and opposed taxes, while praising progress but calling for better fiscal limits. In a separate event, P. Baer defeated G. van Zante for city fire chief, with suggestions to redirect department funds toward sewerage enhancements.
