Counties to turn fines to county law library fund
Athens County municipalities must forward court fines to the county law library association for law book purchases and operations. The new statute caps yearly payments at 7500 dollars per county, with prorating by the county auditor and allocations listed for each town. Local mayors fear reduced town funds and civic impact, though 1938 fines totaled 4944.24 across eight communities.
