The people of Hills are
becoming very indignant over
the delay in getting the bridge
across the Iowa River east of
Hills. The bridge was swept
away by a cyclone last spring.
The merchants of Hills claim
they have lost thousands of dol-
lars worth of business this
summer. It really does seem
that they have a reason to kick
over the tracks as the River
Junction bridge six or seven
miles down the river is the clos-
est route to reach the other side
of the river.

Your credit car00
payment just d ubled
The big players have raised minimum payments
from 2% to 4% of your balance, meaning you'll
get out of debt much quicker. Here's how to cope
until that day.
By Bankrate.com
Good news: Credit card companies are doubling
their minimum payments.
Bad news: Credit card companies are doubling
their minimum payments.
Huh?
So far, MBNA, Citibank and Bank of America
have announced they are doubling minimum
monthly payments on credit card balances from
2% to 4o. Others are expected to follow suit
quickly. To some cardholders, that could be seen
as a good thing. To others it could be devastating.
If you can handle the increased payment it's
good. Let's face it, if you pay only a 2% mini-
mum each month, your debt would probably last
longer than most marriages. Doubling your min-
imum might put you back on the financial
straight and narrow. Ostensibly designed to help
consumers get out of debt faster, the increased
minimums will force cardholders to pay off fees,
interest and at least a portion of the principal
each month.
But if you simply can't make that doubled mini-
mum month after month, it could put you and
many other debtors in over your head.
Why it's happening
Over the past few years, low minimum payback
rates of between 2 and 2.5% have encouraged
Americans to spend, spend, spend -- and torack
up an average credit card debt of close to
$10,000 per household. For the estimated 40% of
cardholders who carry a balance from month to
month, the low minimums free up cash. But pay-
ing off a big charge little by ever-so-little also
means that a $1,000 debt can turn into a 22-year
commitment -- and that you'll accumulate thou-
sands more in interest in the meantime .....
