Ohio Representative Oscar F. Hughes asks the state legislature for 250000 to finance Middletown armory construction, joining similar requests for Lebanon Portsmouth and Painesville. The total package amounts to 750000, tied to National Guard needs and land already available near the airport. A 1949 plan was floated after Col. George Schiele cited Middletown high on the list, with success depending on National Guard activity. The piece ends with a note on Youngstown’s iron-working history dating to 1797.
