Jim: 95 years ago, benefits of expanded City enumerated Jim recalls words of a great Adair County editor, John Ed Murrell, on benefits to be derived from expanding the city limits of Columbia. Revisiting that bit of history is relevant to events in Columbia today, as city territory bumps up hard against the county, and issues which ought to have been settled in less frenzied times are being met - as most issues are - when situations reach emergency status. - EW Click on headline for complete story By JIM Ninety-five years ago this month (January 1922), a front page editorial in the Adair County News expounded on the benefits of expanding the corporate limits of Columbia, noting, "This is a school town and people would come and locate here if there were homes to buy or lots upon which to erect residences." The op-ed pointed out that with the current boundaries, "there are no available lots upon which to build" within the city limits. The author, almost certainly long time News man John Ed Murrell, then aged a year or two past the three-score and ten mark, remarked that extending the lines "half a mile each way" would bring over three hundred new citizens into the town, "thereby swelling the population of our municipality to sixteen hundred." While acknowledging the city would have to spend more in services, Mr. Murrell stated the increase in tax base would generate more than enough revenue to offset the additional costs.
