County to collect for distributed limestone in Athens County
Athens County began collecting today for limestone spread on private driveways late in 1936. About 125 recipients face findings by state examiner L. P. Sherman at the Courthouse, with payments to the county auditor. One payment had been made by noon. The probe, started Feb 26, follows charges that county funds were spent unwarrantedly on road materials and that some materials were given to private individuals. Prosecutor Harold J. Rose notes criminal responsibility requires intent to defraud.
