Service Director Urges Athens Sidewalk Registration
Athens residents are urged to join the sidewalk program funded by city and federal governments with WPA labor. Registration lags behind 1936 totals, and owners would pay eight and a half cents per square foot while the rest is covered by public funds. Signing now speeds work, lowers material costs, and avoids higher future charges as areas are improved. The crew is on Second Street and plans to complete the current job soon.
