Cornerstone Blazes In Vinton As Annuity Law Clarity Arises
In Vinton Iowa Aug 5 a cornerstone laying ceremony for a new Methodist church drew a large crowd. The event featured a Bible from the pastor’s family, a collection of church records and memorabilia, and remarks from Dr. L A Swisher. Completion is slated for spring with an estimated cost around 60000 dollars. The same issue discusses a 150 dollar annual annuity for blind residents under 21 for men and 18 for women, clarifying that county clerks must register eligible names and forward records to county auditors. Additionally, local growers face a bright outlook for high quality apples amid a national shortfall, with Dakotas and Nebraska absorbing Iowa fruit. The town mourns Mrs. Hayward, a longtime resident, and notes Mrs. Jervis’s serious illness and a Washington Street scooter collision involving a motorcycle and auto. Rev Leonard Swisher and wife are visiting before continuing south.

West Liberty Paving Coast To Be Shared By Citizens
West Liberty finds most street paving costs not borne by property owners alone but by the entire town. The historic grade ordinance has not been enforced, creating many cuts and fills. Council raises the tax levy by four mills to cover the increased expense and sets a street improvement fund at five mills. Some departments see reductions, likely leaving residence districts unadjusted to the grade ordinance for now.

In a high stakes copyright proceeding before Justice Weeks, Bud Fisher and the Wheeler Syndicate seek to restrain the Star company from using or advertising the comic characters Mutt and Jeff.
