This mileage sheet was likely given as a resource to guests and potential guests of the Blue Top Motel to show the driving distances between the motel in Coralville and several cities in Iowa, as well as larger cities in Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Missouri. The sheet states the following:
"Mileage from Blue Top to
Iowa City.......3
Univ. Hospital......2
Vet's Hospital......2
Oakdale San.......3
Cedar Rapids......22
Newton........69
Grinnell........42
Des Moines......115

Mason City......170
Kansas City......300

The distance from the Blue Top Motel to the local hospitals was of particular importance to the out-of-town guests who were staying while a loved one received prolonged treatments or recovered from a surgery.

A ticket listing a single election choice to fill the political seats of the city of Coralville. Elections were held annually in March from 1874-1953; in 1954, elections were moved to November. (Lovetinsky et al., p. 86).
This ticket states the following:
"Citizens Ticket
For Mayor, Alexander Koser,
For Recorder, John Williams.
For Treasurer, Charles Robinson.
For Street Commissioner, Charles Francis.
For Assessor, Mac D. Stewart.
For Councilmen, John Davis.* John H. Clark. Peter Kloos. Pat. McGahn. John Amspoker."
* The name of John Davis was crossed out in ink and replaced with a handwritten 'A. Williams' in the right margin of the ticket.
This ticket was most likely printed for the 1875 election and won, as the men listed filled those positions that year (the only exception being that Valentine Miller replaced Charles Robinson as Treasurer). Alexander Koser was also elected to serve as mayor for the years 1880, 1881, and 1884 (Lovetinsky et al., p. 82-83).

WHEREAS, on July 14, 2020, as Mayor of Coralville I proclaimed the City of Coralville COVID-19 Prevention Initiative; and,
WHEREAS, positive cases of the virus continue at an alarming rate throughout Johnson County and Coralville, as well as unprecedented levels throughout the State of Iowa; and,
WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has determined that face coverings are a critical tool in the fight against COVID-19 that could help reduce the spread of the virus, particularly when used universally within communities; and,
WHEREAS, a requirement that persons wear face coverings is consistent with the guidance of the Johnson County Department of Public Health; and
WHEREAS, Section 15.02(2) of the Code of Ordinance of the City of Coralville and Section 372.14(2) of the Code of Iowa (2019) grant the Mayor powers to govern through proclamation to protect the health and safety of the citizens of Coralville,
NOW, THEREFORE, I, John A. Lundell, the duly elected Mayor of the City of Coralville, Iowa, do hereby proclaim the following, effective immediately, that an emergency exists within the City because of the community spread of the COVID-19 virus, and therefore, in order to combat community spread of the COVID-19 virus, I proclaim the following measures to be in effect in the City of Coralville:
Every person in the City of Coralville must wear a face covering that covers their nose and mouth when in a public place as follows: • In public, as opposed to being in one’s place of residence, when one cannot stay six (6) feet away from others
• Inside of any indoor public settings, for example, but not limited to: • Grocery stores • Pharmacies • Hardware stores • Retail stores • Other public settings that are not one’s place of residence and when with persons who do not live in the household • Outside, if keeping six (6) feet away from others is not possible • Using public transportation or private care service (including taxis, ride share, or carpooling) No business that is open to the public may provide service to a customer or allow a customer to enter its premises, unless the customer is wearing a face covering as required by this order, and businesses that are open to the public must post signs at entrance(s) instructing customers of their legal obligation to wear a face covering while inside. Those who are exempt from wearing a face covering: • Persons younger than two (2) years old due to the risk of suffocation • Anyone who has trouble breathing, on oxygen therapy, or ventilator • Anyone who is unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove the face covering without assistance • Anyone who has been told by a medical, legal, or behavioral health professional not to wear face coverings • Anyone actively engaged in a public safety role, including but not limited to law enforcement, firefighters, or emergency medical personnel Places and times where persons are exempt from wearing a face covering: • While traveling in a personal vehicle alone or with household members • While a person is alone or in the presence of only household members • While exercising at moderate or high intensity, e.g., jogging or biking • While seated at a food establishment in the process of eating or drinking • While obtaining a service that would require temporary removal of the person’s face covering • When federal or state law prohibits wearing a face covering or requires the removal of the face covering This order shall expire on January 15, 2021, unless otherwise rescinded or extended.

A ticket listing a single election choice to fill the political seats of the city of Coralville. Elections were held annually in March from 1874-1953; in 1954, elections were moved to November. (Lovetinsky et al., p. 86).
This ticket states the following:
"Coralville Bull-Dozer's Ticket.
For Mayor, A.W. Davis.
For Recorder, J.M Curry.
For Trustees, John H. Clark, John Williams, J.C. Wilson, Patrick McGahn, Chas. E. Robinson.
For Treasurer, Thomas R. Hackett
For Assessor, McDonald Stewart
For Street Commissioner, Thomas Curry."
It is unknown when this ticket was printed, but based on the names that appear, it can most likely be dated back to the 1870s-1890s. A.W. Davis is never listed in historical records as being the mayor of Coralville, so presumably this Bull-Dozer's ticket lost the election (Lovetinsky et al., p. 82-83).

A proclamation by Coralville Mayer John Lundell, regarding face masks, following an increase in COVID-19 cases in Coralville and the surrounding community.
text reads:
CORALVILLE—Coralville Mayor John A. Lundell today issued a proclamation requiring that persons wear a face covering that covers the nose and mouth when in a public place and one cannot stay six feet away from others. Public places include but are not limited to grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware stores, retail stores, and public transportation.
Exemptions from the order are included for certain populations and activities. A complete copy of the proclamation is available at www.coralville.org.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to escalate across the state including in our community, the Coralville City Council and I believe that it is critical to take this step requiring the wearing of masks when in public. Scientific evidence clearly indicates that mask wearing is the most effective method for curbing the spread of this virus until a vaccine or other measures are developed. The Council and I appreciate the cooperation of our citizens, visitors, and businesses as we do our part to avoid spreading the virus,” said Mayor Lundell.
January 14, 2021
Face Mask proclamation was extended to April 15, 2021
