Street paving projects advance in city council meeting

City council moved toward Court and West Union street paving and requested a second watchman at Union crossing from B and O. An ordinance created a five member health board with pay limits and the mayor may appoint members. Wages for city workers were discussed with comparisons to Nelsonville. Extra street lighting and street frontage assessments were debated, and asphalt versus brick options for Court Street were reviewed with cost estimates and bidding cautions.

Restaurant Man Before the Court a Second Time

Tom Motis of the Pomeroy Restaurant and Candy Kitchen faced Mayor Diehl after a prior fine for selling milk not up to standard. He is charged with giving short measure in a milk sale after a customer paid twenty five cents for a quart bottle. The bottle’s empty space suggested more than a pint and a half of milk, and a bond of one hundred dollars was set while authorities resolve identity issues with two brothers involved. Leather covers to guard fenders during under hood repairs were noted as garage aids.
