Huron County seeks continued federal revenue sharing aid
Huron County Commissioners earn support from Congressman John Ashbrook to sustain the federal revenue sharing program. The county expects 226 738 dollars for the current year as they push for funds amid an austerity drive. Ashbrook notes the program runs through 1976 but a House panel aims to decide this year.
