Canton-Akron Company backs widening road plan near Canton Massillon
Canton and Massillon promoters seek to widen the Canton to Massillon state road to 100 feet and add a boulevard and possibly a double track. The county cannot act due to state width limits, while residents offer land concessions and legislative changes are proposed. A man’s disappearance near Meyers Lake prompts a separate homicide inquiry as a boat bearing clothing is found.
