Wood County Board Sets Big Road Building Plan Vote
The Wood County board approved paving funds of 15,000 for a 0.75 mile Cameron to Klondike concrete road and discussed a 1.4 million bond for a four year county wide road system totaling about 60 miles. A nurse service was rejected though one on the board supported it. The County Council of Defense will be discontinued after bills are paid, and probate salary rises to 80 dollars monthly. The plan, described by the Grand Rapids Tribune, envisions a county wide network linking Marshfield, Pittsville, Babcock, Rudolph and other towns with concrete, all weather roads to improve access and commerce. The final decision rests with county voters.
