Louisa Votes on Court House Bond
Louisa county voters vote on June 2 on bonds totaling 100000 to build a new court house in Wapello, the county seat. The issue follows a previous defeat in 1926 of a 150000 bond plan and notes current rent of 1540 yearly for offices and court in Wapello. A repaired old building option would need 40000 to 60000 and still require bonds.
