Highways Spark Interest in South Mahoning Township Bond Issue
Intense interest arises from a 1924 special election ballot failure to specify the road to be improved with a 55,000 bonding vote in South Mahoning township. The contested plan aimed to fund road work from Plumville to the East Mahoning line near the Georgeville schoolhouse, but the petition's intent remains unverified due to misplacement. Complications grew as supervisors reportedly favored the Thamville to West Mahoning route.
