Safety service director Dwight Robinson said renovation of Athens City Hall should be completed by early spring. Bids will be advertised soon and opened at noon October 10 at city hall. The mayor said federal aid may arrive by December 1 and revisions are in progress after initial bids were rejected as too high. Ohio University president’s residence experienced a small fire due to an electric blanket short circuit, with slight damage reported.
