City Moves To Seize W Union Street Land Over Parlor and Station
City solicitor Gordon Gray reports authority from the council to eject all claimants to land along the south side of West Union Street by the Hocking River from the Guy Wilson property to the bridge. The beer parlor run by Joe Coury and the filling station of Earl Millican are named. Gray plans court action soon as title is deemed city property after three weeks of review. Residents seek city possession for a riverbank park amid disturbances, while rest room conditions in the courthouse basement are criticized. Mayor McCune notes past janitor service cuts and possible use of City Hall staff, with county commissioners not agreeing. A committee led by the mayor will meet commissioners to address remedies. A storm sewer project at W Union and Depot Street is approved, and a wholesale gasoline plan for city vehicles is tabled for later.
