Garbage atop Mercer County Courthouse prompts bid for roof repairs
Mercer County Court officials led by Bernard Wilkinson and Donald Anello inspected a “mini dump” on the courthouse roof likely from the jail. They approved paying $1,450 to Huffard Roofing to finish the June 1967 contract and discussed roof safety and future repairs along with river cleanup politics. The court also considered annexing land near North American Rockwell and funding the Mercer County Opportunity Workshop with a proposed $5,000 annual grant to assist handicapped workers.
