Lesson in road repairs for Jackson County board
Jackson County board members spent weeks learning county road operations. John Schwinn of J. T. Blankinship presented a county road map and explained maintenance criteria. A May vote approved a summer program over 300000 dollars, delayed by a quarry strike reducing rock supply. The system covers about 250 road miles, with a federal survey under way to gauge road condition and standards. The board also authorized bids for a new highway superintendent car, to include a trade-in of a 1969 Ford.
