County Roads Washed By Week's Heavy Rain
A week of heavy rain washed several county roads with no serious damage reported to the County Commissioners. Mud covered a state road near Myersville, slowing traffic. Eight Jerusalem residents led by Charles Easterday asked for road improvement, offering crushed stone for surface work. The four mile Old Jerusalem road from the Myersville reservoir toward Wolfsville had been pressured for over a year due to deep ruts. The $30,000 emergency road repair fund this year enabled patching alongside regular maintenance overseen by the State Roads Commission. Multiple repair requests were also presented to the Commissioners on Saturday.
