Nelsonville Council Studies Sewers and Parking Jam
Nelsonville city council discussed enclosing Jiggieburg Run from West Washington to Franklin Street about 20 feet to improve sanitation near the depot.

The council also eyed Poplar Street conditions after recent repaving and handled parking concerns at Public Square with the judicial committee. A police alarm service with Ohio Bell was approved to install red lights on Columbus and Washington Streets linked to the police switch. Mayor's April license and fine report totaled 80.40 and was accepted.
