Legion Post Sues for Balances in Clutier War Fund
The American Legion post of Clutier Iowa filed suit in district court to recover 717 dollars, the unexpended balance of local War Fund money now held by J P Novak and F J Husak, Clutier bankers. Most funds are Red Cross, which no longer exists in Clutier, so the post seeks to redirect the money to its original objectives. The defendants were Red Cross officers during the war. A court order is needed to release the funds with a small balance remaining to support local efforts.
