Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 April 1913 — Not All of Monticello’s Money Used at Logansport. [ARTICLE]

Not All of Monticello’s Money Used at Logansport.

As the large amount of money raised at Monticello for the Logansport flood sufferers was not needed, all subscriptions were returned to the givers. The yjty had appropriated $250. and the total amount expended was $275.41. It was decided that the city council would appropriate $25.41 more and thus take care of the entire amount and that all contributors would have their money returned. Logansport evidently found that it was just as Mayor Durgan, of Lafayette, said, there was too much money and, the “grafters exceeded those in actual need.” In cities the money may be more needed and the Rensselaer committee did the right thing in sending its contribution to the governor for use any place in the state rather than sending it to a single stricken district.
