Governor vetoes Erni Bierly bill on county office use
Governor Warren McCray vetoed a bill authorizing Harrison County to convey to American Legion posts the old County Office Building and extending use of the Old State House. The measure would have required a public ballot in 1924 to decide the transfer and extended court house use to 1927. The veto leaves the prior two year extension in force. Also noted is a Woods Russell sale of household goods in Boone township on March 21.
