Resumption of Gallipolis Flood Escape Road Work Agreed
At a Gallia County meeting WPA district director Alfred Blake and county commissioners agreed to continue the Chickamauga road and bridge project after a one week halt caused by a WPA strike. The city will fund its share of 20000 when gasoline and auto tax funds are available, and the county engineer will push operations with county funds. The decision follows concerns over a deteriorating Vine Street crossing, with a $50000 rebuilding cost once the new bridge is finished.
