A proposed bill in the Ohio House would give Athens Municipal Court countywide jurisdiction and abolish County Court. Rep. Ralph Welker said the measure is being studied and would affect nine Athens County communities including Nelsonville and the villages. If approved and signed, County Court would end in 1967 and a countywide election would choose a fulltime municipal judge with a salary set by state law.
