Mayor Outlines Civil Defense Plans to Commissioners
Athens Mayor W. P. Mickle told county commissioners Monday that the city has launched a civilian defense program led by Paul Smith. He noted Athens is underrepresented at a Columbus meeting of central Ohio officials. Commissioners hope to study county programs at a state convention, delay action until then, and consider funding for attending expenses. They approved razing the old Children’s Home storage barn and remodeling a kitchen-adjacent room for living quarters with a $35 cap on expenses and awarded a roof repair contract to Johnson and West Co. for $1,797, with slag upbuilding and winter inspection included.
