The abolition of this year's state levy on the second half of property taxes, due on or before Oct. 1, was announced Tuesday in Des Moines.

Rock Rapids is to have a state liquor store, an establishment that will probably be open for business before the middle of October.

The new floodlights on the athletic field at the high school here were put to use last night for the first time.

Work will be started within the next 40 days on a new $11,000 elevator for the Farmer's Cooperative Exchange of Rock Rapids.
