Pomeroy Council Rejects Bonds and Plans WPA Street Work
The Pomeroy council rejected two bids on a 14 000 dollar delinquent tax bond issue and voted to re advertise to seek lower interest. A WPA street and sidewalk project will widen Wetzgall Lasley and part of Butter Nut Ave with WPA covering costs for the rock base while residents pay for top surface. The council granted a right to run a sewer under Main Street to the Farmers Bank building newly rebuilt. A petition with many residents asked for street improvements and a council ordered repairs to a street leading to Prospect Hill resident Entley Peeples requested cinders on that access road.
