City plans $25 000 to restore brick streets
A study by Service Safety Director Phil Goldsberry shows at least 25 000 dollars is needed to restore 14 city streets to brick. Labor is funded by a CETA grant, while materials and equipment could reach 40 000 dollars. Up to 48 000 bricks will be recycled to patch 14 streets as First and Ark Streets are resurfaced with asphalt. The city awaits more precise estimates before requesting council approval.

Board seeks levy for Beacon School in Athens County
The Athens County 169 Board of Mental Retardation which runs Beacon School and AtCo Sheltered Workshop asks county commissioners to place a 1 mill levy on November ballots. The plan is a .3 mill renewal plus .7 mill new, generating about $50 000 and $145 000 respectively for operations. If passed construction could begin in 1979 on a new Beacon School possibly at Route 56 with a plan to renew a land option for Ida Davies property in The Plains as an alternate site.
