On Thursday and Friday city crews and county crews worked to open passages under the bridges to allow the water to flow.

Voting in last week’s township election was extremely light as rural area voters went to the polls to choose members for two regular offices. Named to office in each of the township elections were one supervisor for a term of three years and a treasurer for a two-year term. Also elected at the recent two elections was one district supervisor of the Todd Soil and Water Conservation District for a five-year term for which only one candidate, Percy Perreten, was listed on the ballot.
