Residents Seek to Keep Front St Free of Truck Route
Logan residents presented a 275 name petition to city council urging Front Street not be designated a truck route and reasserting concerns about police enforcement. The group cited low overhead trestle clearance, varying street widths, sharp turns, and several intersections as reasons against the route, and proposed using Hunter Street with traffic signals on Front Street at Market High and Hocking. They also pressed for more patrols, noting a lack of officers on Main Street and the need to enforce parking and traffic laws as city officials pledged action.

City Operating on Shoe String Remedy Asked by Council
Logan city faces serious finances as April ledger shows only 199.21 on hand. A November special session drew 8500 from the county auditor on February real estate tax settlement, leaving about 7000 for expenses with 30 to 60 days before more funds. The council debated the end of the 1950 mill levy, waterworks losses, payroll pressures, and potential state gasoline funds to avert deeper deficits. The auditor noted overdrafts in gas and water funds and urged urgent cost-cutting and revenue measures to avoid further cash shortfalls.
