Real estate board weighs school consolidation and rent rise
Real estate board members at a noon meeting at Hotel Russell-Lamson discussed whether Waterloo public schools should have a single superintendent. They will invite an expert, then present to ecclesiastical boards and the council. They rebut rumors of rent hikes, attributing rising rents to scarce housing and higher upkeep costs, not realtors. A city building code committee reported its findings to the council, and protests were filed against the Weaver housing law with calls for drastic changes.

County pays no interest on warrants as funds overdrawn
W. J. Barbante's administration pushes funds from overdrawn accounts to cover tax payments. All warrants have been paid despite a shortfall estimated at around $30,000 in the county fund. State checkers advised the plan to avoid 6 percent interest, lowering it toward 1.8 percent allowed on county funds. Delinquent tax penalties loom if the March 31 deadline passes. By March 1, 19,400 general tax receipts must be prepared to speed tax payments at the windows.
