City Trusts Rejected In Willmar Vote Across Wards
Willmar residents vote down continued trust domination in a citywide election, with the public utilities ordinance passing by a three-fifths margin. Ward-by-ward totals show broad support for the measure while turnout remains about half the electorate. The council now faces appraising exchange property and funding to acquire it, with calls for a citizens tele phone committee and subscription drive for city certificates.
