By Joyce Wiese Recently the old County Home, more recently known as Pheasant Ridge, was a subject of discussion of Tama County Supervisors Monday morning. The building is now empty and the water turned off. At the present time no decision has been made as to what should be done with the building and grounds. It was suggested an advertisement should be published. One of the automobiles used by the Tama County Health Department was recently in an accident and needed to be replaced.
