New Athens Court Increases Work Load in 1960 Transition
The new Athens County Court, opening early in 1960 with Edward Stanley as judge, shifts many traffic cases to the Common Pleas Court and reduces Municipal Court activity. The county court will become a court of record in 1960, abolishing the mayor's court. Deputy clerks face more paperwork as authorities adapt to new laws and possible arraignments in nearby mayor's courts for convenience. In a Friday case, Herbert Howard Burke of Athens received a $125 fine, three days in jail, and a 90 day license suspension for driving while intoxicated on Route 33 in Dover Township.
