WISHES TO RAzE
ITS ONLY CHURCH
Blue Grass, Iowa In Quandary as TO
How To Acquire Title 10 the
Property.
COUNTY RECORDS FAIL To HELP
Abandoned so Long Ago That Oldest
Inhabitant Does Not Remember
Who Trustees We're.

After losing its minister and its
congregation and standing vacant for
nearly a half century the Baptist
church Of Blue Grass. Iowa. is now
causing a legal tangle which three Of
hoiais OF Scott county are attempting
10 solve.
The Baptist church IS located in the
heart OF Blue Grass. Its location is
so central that the town officials want
the site for the erection of the new
city hall which Blue Grass is 10 have
shortly. The church building is old
and In a ramshackle condition and the
enterprising community wishes TO re
move Il and add TO the attractiveness
OF their town.
The church has been unused for
years. The oldest inhabitant OF the
town cannot remember when regular
services were held there. The town
has been getting along without
church for years and cant see why
the old structure ought not 10 be torn
down 20 make room for new city
hall.
So the Blue Grass town officials
asked County Auditor Ed Collins what
20 co ABOUT IT. AAF HFaNAAEA AAANAAA ~
the county attorney The latter ad-
yised the Blue Grass town boosters
20 have County Recorder Frank Holm
look up the original deed OF the prop
crty and see II the name of any in
diyiduai appeared on ,hc document as
a church officer.
No Trace Of Titie-Holder-
Up 20 the present time Recorder
Holm has not been able TO discover
any trace BY which the present legal
titie-hoider 20 the property may be
run down. The Baptist congregation
~ Blue Grass has been disbanded for
years and no one there knows who
the church trustees were who bought
the property back in the early SOS.
And the Baptist church organization
has no central body that could be con
sirued rs succeeding TO the owner
ship when one congregation had prac-
tically given up title through disuse.
For this reason the Scott county
officials and the Blue Grass town au-
thorities are In a quandry. II is prob
able that the town corporation viii
be advised 20 take possession and
hold the property in adverse posses
sion" II this Is done and az the end
OF ten years the municipal title is not
questioned the corporation OF Blue
Grass Will accede TO the legal posses
sion OF the property.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
NOT CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS

MI SGlNIO IAN OSlGN 10 o.
May have space to correct the
statement made in news items in The
Day Book of April 1 and that two
sisters, who under distressing cir
cumstances were consigned to an
asylum as temporarily deranged,
were prominent members of the
Christian Science Church." AS
Christian Science;does not contribute
to mental unbalance, but on the con-
trary has restored scores to sound
ness of mind, an investigation of the
facts was made which disclosed that
the women are not members of the
Christian Science Church and so far
as can be learned have been but
slightly interested in the subject.
slChristian Science welcomes all
sufferers who wish to investigate
what it offers by way of salvation
from sin, sorrow and disease, and
submits to them it's successful heal
ing record of nearly fifty years in
proof of its availability, but investi-
cation does not make one Christian
Scientist any more than inquiry into
elementary physics makes him a
physical scientist.
Moreover, these good women are
found to have been having both os-
teopathic and medical treatment,
which cannot be mixed with Christian
Science, whereas. had they been
Christian Scientists they would al
ready have proved the power of God
as preached and practiced by Jesus
and His followers to be more potent
to heal either sickness or distress
than any material means.
lin view of the facts, The Day Book
will no doubt be glad in fairness to
all concerned to give space to this
corection.-AVery coonley.
