Fix Bridge Or Out It Goes Resident Tells Commission
Logan resident Wallace Beck warned Hocking County commissioners that he will remove a bridge off Honey Fork Road if not repaired. County engineer Clyde Underwood said the 1880s bridge is on private property, and county repairs are prohibited on private property. The board debated authority and considered property records dating to 1902. Commissioner Howard Blum noted potential sewage processing talks with West Logan city pending federal funds for plant expansion. Margaret Lowe received a $15 monthly raise, bringing her pay to $345 per month per the official letter on file.
