Reports from Point Pleasant claim Harley Kilgore’s bid to succeed himself is narrowly decided and could be contested amid alleged ballot fraud and irregularities reported to Charleston headquarters.

Request Denied By Board In Jericho Road Dispute
At the November board of education meeting President L L Caldwell and commissioners c C Blessing Hugh Curry and Otis Young denied a citizen request from Jericho Road. The superintendent was instructed to explain the request was impossible. The board granted Fred Stewart permission to park a trailer on Midway school lot and approved Annabel Matheny for a medical leave. A state fire marshal inspection report covered many schools and a motion to act on its recommendations failed for lack of a second. The superintendent noted the sale of a used bus for 100 dollars and that patrons paid 150 dollars toward moving Pleasant Vale school to Beech Hill. Harry Reiney requested a wage increase for bus driving duties.
