Plans for more houses in Waterloo move forward
Three residences have been submitted to the Greater Waterloo association housing committee as part of a drive to increase Waterloo housing and attract more buyers. Builders may group homes in five to 25 lot sizes with costs estimated between 3200 and 5200 dollars, based on anticipated contractor pricing and material quality. The association also issued a four page booster pamphlet touting Waterloo’s parks, schools, and industries. A separate notice reports Waterloo railroads seeking an intra state rate hearing and possible freight rate increases after a wage decision. The paper also lists marriage licenses and a missing person case involving Emma Cou Per, last seen after visiting the post office.
