Gallia County autom club to discuss road funding plans
In Gallia County, the Gallia County Automobile Club and Gallia Community Association met at Grace M. E. Church annex. Dr J T Hanson and A C Safford reported on the Ohio State Automobile Association meeting, while Dr W Shane and Horace Ecker outlined local club progress. They discussed Federal road-appropriation driven projects and a four mile State Route 7 segment from Kanauga to Addison. County surveys cite half of 870 miles of roads as dirt, five percent of residents face impassable roads seasonally, and drainage remains insufficient. County policy prioritizes maintaining existing roads and even township funding. Limestone quarrying and county tile production reduce maintenance costs.
