From the Recorder: February 24, 1944

Today's post from February 24, 1944, contains the results of the caucus to nominate candidates for the offices of village trustee (two seats), school board (two seats), a full five-year term on the library board, a partial term on the library board, and police magistrate. Almost 100 voters turned out, about 10% of the village population.

The latest census put the village population at 973, just 27 short of the necessary 1,000 residents to move from village status to a city of the second class.
