Nelsonville seeks road improvement linking Starr township
The Nelsonville Chamber of Commerce and its good roads committee will work with Hocking county residents to improve a seven mile stretch from Nelsonville through Starr township to connect with state route No 56 near Coonville. A Carbondale delegation urged action, with a plan to meet the committee soon. The project aims to ease the almost impassable road and benefit Nelsonville as a regional trading center. An effort will push state highway department involvement through official channels bilaterally. The attending committee included J M Sanger and several local residents.
