City Council Okays New Richland Street Lights
Athens Ohio leaders authorize six boulevard lights on Richland Ave and one on Woodland Ave as part of a plan from Columbus & Southern Ohio Electric Co. The move, funded within current budgets, prioritizes lighting for the new city section while delaying broader replacements. The council also aids garden clubs with beautification and plans further planting at city entrances and cemetery plots. Fire protection talks arise for Route 50 area after a new water line and hydrants were installed for 12 homes. Parking disputes with a local druggist prompt ruling on city owned spaces. Appointments to the Health Board include Dr. Carl Frey and Dr. Julian Goodwin for terms through 1956 and 1952 respectively.
