County Fathgas road changes dominate quarterly session
The county commissioners opened their quarterly meeting with road matters consuming most of Monday. A final hearing on changing the Strouds Run to Peach Ridge road was set for June 21, with Charles Courtney seeking $2000 damages for three-quarters of an acre. Bridges washed out by spring floods constrain travel countywide, delaying cement replacements and forcing detours. Delegations from New Marshfield urged shared funding for a tarbound macadam road toward the I. S. Herron farm, but no decision was reached. An July 6 visit will review a proposed new road from near Peter Clester farm to the Millfield Sugar Creek road, with petitions seeking opening of a new route and abandoning the old one.
