Attorney Opinions on Bridge Mishap and County Offices

Logan area officials received two legal opinions from Prosecuting Attorney Hubert Lappen. The county is not responsible for damages to a truck that went through a bridge on Big Pine Road. Lappen also ruled that Ohio statutes require county commissioners to provide offices in the county seat for county superintendents of schools, to be permanent headquarters used when in session. An easement for highway use in Benton Township from James Garrett was received, and various fund payments and welfare grants were approved totaling amounts for auto-gasoline, county funds, dog and kennel, tuberculosis, general relief, welfare administration payroll, travel, and Aid to Dependent Children.
