Two Roads Are Dedicated To Townships

County commissioners dedicated two roads to townships Dover and Athens and settled a 1998 debt of 40.82 dollars at a special meeting. Roads 421 in Dover Township and Clearview Drive in Athens Township were turned over to trustees for road systems. The 18 year old debt arose after Coolville Bank failed and a 112 dollar dog tag payment by A B White was charged to the bank, with Edmundson then the Soldier's Relief secretary. The hearing held that the money should be recovered from Edmundson, but the county ultimately moved funds between accounts to cover the discrepancy.
