Zoning and road issues mark Franklin County year end
Franklin County commissioners wrapped up 1963 by approving a zoning board recommendation to keep Ottawa Township under the blue book regulations and addressing road drift issues. They noted a non injury train pickup collision at Richter and planned crossing signals with gates for 1984. They require Hedrick to decide if his 10 acre tract is agricultural or residential by May 1. Projects include bridge designs for the Greenwood Bridge and three smaller spans at a total $25,070 fee and an estimated $570,000 construction cost, with federal funding possible.

Publisher bans smoking at Salina Journal office
Salina Journal publisher Fred Vandegrift, a former heavy smoker, bans smoking for 104 employees from January 1 to March 31 with a $500 bonus for the 31 who quit. He will rely on an honor system and permits warnings for violators, hoping to lower health costs and notice employee sentiment. Gas Service Co. stockholders approve a takeover by Kansas Power and Light Co., with the deal set to take effect soon after.
