Nelsonville Charter Commission on Ballot Tuesday
Nelsonville voters will decide on a charter commission to study a new plan of government. County Auditor J W Whaley and former auditor Harry Evans say state revenue from sources would differ little whether Nelsonville remains a city or becomes a village. Fifteen members will sit on the commission, and any proposed plan goes to the ballot for acceptance or rejection.
