Princeton OKs Oakvale road bond drive amid opposition
The East River district faces a $150000 bond vote to grade drain and pave the Princeton Oakvale Glen Lyn road. Officials defend the Oakvale route as feasible and state to take over graded segments soon, while outside critics claim it unworkable and press an Athens Elgood alternative. The Community Development Club pamphlet is labeled untrue by local leaders.
