District director changes eyed by Washington Community Schools
The Washington Community Schools Board proposed redrawing director districts from five to seven to better reflect population and elect one director per ward plus rural areas. If voters approve, a second election would fill all seven seats by July 1, 1973, with districts defined by city wards and surrounding townships including Riverside Road, Skunk River, and Oak areas. J Richard Wiley and LW Robison were named district 2 and 3 directors for three years, with Robison elected president and Wiley vice president. A second, separate brief reports a Newton man died and his brother was injured when motorcycles tangled on a Jasper County road south of Newton.

Iowa Supreme Court voids Waterloo civic center lease plan
In a split decision the Iowa Supreme Court ruled Waterloo’s 9 million civic center lease from Cedar Skyline Corp. to be an illegal scheme. The court held the 25 year arrangement functions as a purchase since total rent exceeds the purchase price, violating state loan and lease limits. Justice K Davis Harris authored the opinion.

Weather, debts in Waterloo case cloud public center plan
Fair and warm tonight with lows in lower 70s. Wednesday turns hot and humid with possible thundershowers toward evening and highs around 90 to 95. Winds southerly 10 to 20 mph. Rain chances 10 percent tonight and 20 percent Wednesday. In legal news, the state limits on debt by political subdivisions were applied to Waterloo's proposed Cedar Skyline center. The $9 million center price exceeded the limit, prompting a court ruling that disapproved the lease financing plan. The judges criticized the debt cap as too low while noting the plan's potential civic benefits and cautioning against lease financing to evade constraints. The ruling leaves a narrowly approved leasing arrangement in limbo pending final decision by higher court.
