Copper to Stay Will Reorganize and Aid Crossings
The Dolton Board in regular session discussed not renting the village hall for meetings and urged Panhandle to stop blocking crossings. It approved police staffing, refused a free village hall for Civic Club meetings, reviewed bills, and plans a special meeting to study power service rates for Barnard Seed Co. The bank suspension at Dalton State Bank prompted reassurance of depositor protection and a push toward reorganization.
