Nelsonville Segregates Light and Water Plants
Nelsonville City Council, at a special meeting, voted to segregate the electric light and water works plants. The action follows a formal request from the department of public service and references a 1937 bond plan for 90,000 to improve the electric system on land that includes part of the water works site. The council also corrected maturities on a 2,000 bond for the Myers Street flood project and discussed locating a pump shed with C and O Railroad access.
