Bill authorizing land sale awaits Senate vote
A bill to authorize the sale of Ohio University land for Sheltering Arms Hospital construction nears final approval. The measure passed the House unanimously and awaits Senate passage after judiciary committee approval. The land on W Union Street near the fairgrounds would be sold to the hospital foundation for a $3.5 million project set to bid in July and start in August with completion aimed for spring 1969. A new hospital administrator, Carl F. Thielmann, is to start next month. In a separate matter, Robert Richard Dickens, 29, of Canterbury, formerly Athens, received one year probation after pleading guilty to a reduced assault charge stemming from sodomy indictments, with probation terms including psychiatric evaluation.
