Architects Plan Rejected For Athens Children Home
A citizens committee recommended remodeling the former school building adjacent to the Athens County Children's Home to ease overcrowding. The plan, costing about 40 000 to 60 000 dollars for repairs, was accepted by commissioners who will study it with Columbus architect J Curtis Inscho. The report advised against moving wards to Chauncey and warned the county faces license action within a 90 day probation.
