Road request awaits work by developer
Marion Street Commissioner A R Douglas said action by Loren Rector is awaited to lower a road in his Parrish Park Heights subdivision before asking the state Highway Division to make it a motor fuel tax maintained street. Engineers report built up rock could flood older Parrish Park homes and washing out lower areas. Douglas said Highway Division would not approve funds as built and will not seek maintenance funds until Rector lowers the road. Rector and landowners Marshall Skelcher and Ralph Dunn seek city participation for access into the city.
