People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 January 1895 — That Court House Fence. [ARTICLE]

That Court House Fence.

Editor Pilot:—“Taxpayer” in your last week's issue, gave some very timely suggestions on the doing away with the court house fence. His suggestions could not, perhaps, be followed out . completely, if he means that the fence be donated to Weston cemetery. Needless as the fence is and always has been it is county property, and any other cemetery in the county has as much right to it as Weston. There is no need of this fence which has cost the county between 1900 and It might now be sold for onetelf or one-third its original cost and that much money would be saved. The building of the fence was an uncalled for, needless expense; *3OO or S4OO out of it now would help toward paying interest on our county debts. A County Man.
