The case of a break in at L. E. Scruggs Coolville Route 1 ends with Scruggs refusing to file charges after evidence shows one juvenile and two adults involved. Deputy Robert Allen found evidence and the case was dropped. The report also notes a separate civil suit by Glockner Chevrolet Co. against Portsmouth seeking to keep their auto sales building in the Urban Renewal project amid disputes over property inclusion and funding. The suit references a 1966 contract where Ohio U agreed to purchase Urban Renewal area property for 93 937 dollars and argues changes could trigger federal funding penalties. Names appear: Henry McCoy Jr Ashland Wis $15, Richard Scheerer 21 Nelsonville $10.
