Butler County commissioners held their first night meeting at the courthouse. Welfare director Warren L. Harding sought 12500 more dollars for teen boarding care while township trustees Earl Courtney and Fred B. Conrad raised local hazards and junk-car issues. A fiery clash between zoning inspector Tony Cecere and county zoning commissioner C. C.
