County officials back Jackson township grade plan amid tax concerns
Two county commissioners H R Koffel and N L Guernsey signed a favorable report on the Jackson township grade project. Fred Kingman refused, calling the plan impractical and costly with poor drainage likely to sustain expenses. Engineers cite 15800 dollars, though locals claim double that. Remonstrances circulate countywide and may go to the circuit court as Kingman claims about 90 percent of taxpayers oppose the project for now.
