Few Hours Work Would Put Road in Good Shape
A few hours of work on the College road on the Virginia side would greatly improve passage and reduce hazards. Sanders Drive road is in good shape up to the Sanders residence, and the clay road to the college is decent though rough spots remain opposite the college. A few loads of furnace slag would help. Virginia side personals note residents and travelers returning from Columbus, the Rotary Convention, and Akron visits, with others headed to Florida or Kentucky. public notices include a rental listing and a local church conference report.
