Jackson County Adopts New Lead Weight Limit for Roads
Jackson County approves a year round weight limit of eight tons for trucks on county roads. Special cases may lower the limit with posting required by the road and bridge committee. The measure updates a 1946 winter only rule. The board also moves to condemn property along the Ava blacktop for widening and resurfacing planned in 1968 after negotiating with 24 owners, with three disputes unresolved. The board reappoints John Levan as county noxious weed control officer and Dr. L. E. Strack as county rabies inspector.
