Narrow Ottawa road widened by joint dam and road project
A road north west of Ottawa was widened by three feet and raised to improve sight distance through a joint effort between Franklin County officials and local residents.

Continuance Of Wage Price Powers Near Certain
The Senate rejected a Democratic bid to cap Nixon wage and price control extension at two months. The vote suggests Nixon will secure a full year extension to April 30, 1973. Harris urged limits and anti trust action but failed to win support in a 74 to 14 and 74 to 15 votes. The pay raise for federal civilians and military personnel, approved Monday, adds about $1 billion to the deficit.
