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.

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 .....
