Mechanicsburg sewer line project backed by county
On Monday July 23 1956 the Athens county commissioners guaranteed county financing for the Mechanicsburg sewer line project. They will have County Prosecutor Clair F Berry draft a resolution for city officials and expect city council to act this week to proceed with the ordinance once the financial terms are settled. City and annexation proponents met with commissioners and councilmen to advance the proposal amid concerns from bonding firms over whose responsibility it is to fund and arrange the final terminus with the city line.
