Commercial Club boosts land sale and new paper in city
The Commercial club sold lots and secured acres of land totaling 212 700 to attract factories, with credit due to Charo Eskridge and Austin F. Cabel. A new paper, The Indianapolis Morning Star, is to launch next week, led by Geo F McCullouch. McCullouch’s generosity is noted in a tale of a gas belt city treasurer. The piece also recalls President McKinley’s $5 000 Cuban aid and forecasts President Roosevelt’s likely Ohio nomination. Monday court house schedules include township assessors report, county commissioners meeting, board of review organization, and county superintendent election. Appraisals are expected to rise over two million dollars, with farm values up and city property up to forty percent.
