The Oskaloosa Times
Friday
May 24, 1895

Mayor COY, of Oskaloosa is leaving nothing undone to bring his town up to a metropolitan basis. A rockpile and ball and chain outfit has just been procured for the benefit of vags, and the city council has adopted the Kansas City, Kansas license ordinance, which taxes everything from a babyrack to a boarding house keeper. The enterprising little burg only lacks a trifle more than 14,000 people now of the 15,000 population necessary for a city of the first class.--K.C. Journal.
