Water Works Bonds Question Sparks Legislation Move
A dispute over a $120,000 water works bonds deal led to a constitutional challenge. Attorney Saltzgaber ruled the initial act invalid for singling out Van Wert, prompting a curative act rushed through by Rep Gilliland. The bonds were later accepted at par as construction proceeds. The week also saw Belle Drake and Sidney Miller wed at the Drake home, with a large guest list and reception. Further items include a Jackson township asylum transfer for Mrs. Richard Berryman, pensions granted through Evers & Manship, a public meeting in Union Center, a Democratic ticket for Union township, and a 160 acre farm for rent via S. W. Lone.
