County Leaders Eye Four Road Improvements With State Aid
Guernsey County Commissioners met to consider a plan to establish improved roads from Cambridge in four directions. With $5,000 from the county and $5,000 from the state, four main roads including the National pike east and west of Cambridge and the Byesville road could reach first class condition, paving the way for extensions next year. If the state aid is not accepted, a portion of the county road tax may be used for improvements in other counties.
