Ellwood City Presses Road Improvements Plan
Ellwood City leaders gathered at the county courthouse to back a Slipperyrock church and Energy route into New Castle, endorsing Ellwood-New Castle road first and New Bedford road second. W J Offutt led the delegation urging a bond issue of 500000 dollars to fund staged construction with state aid. The group opposed a Wampum to Route 77 link, favoring the Slipperyrock Energy corridor for an exit from mud and isolation year round. David Jameson of the New Castle Automobile Club pledged support from local business and civic groups. County commissioners reserved judgment, promising due consideration.

State seeks injunction to halt new phone rate orders
Harrisburg Pa January 28 Attorney General Schiefer acting for the public service commission will petition the Dauphin county court for an injunction to stop Pennsylvania telephone companies from implementing new rate schedules ordered by Postmaster General Burleson. The state argues the action is illegal for failing to follow public utility statutes and that tariff changes must be filed with the commission for 30 days to allow investigation and public comment. The injunction would prevent collection of higher charges until compliance and a hearing is held.
