Commissioners Hear Of Overcrowding Children Home Need
Rowena Sprout told Athens County commissioners that overcrowding at the county Children’s Home and added workloads may require a second group home on East Side land. She urged action to address immediate needs and possible construction or purchase of a suitable home, with yard improvements at the site. Sheriff Brown pressed for a dispatcher and a used Nelsonville cruiser, while Judge Howard and Engineer Hann urged funding checks for the federal emergency employment act. The commission awarded Armco Steel a $10,642 bridge decking contract to replace 12 minor slips, beating Superior Steel by about $1,000.
