Controversy over Tower Road funds narrows in county meeting
County officials reviewed a 1961 62 Tower Road project dispute with three Carbondale residents who pledged about 6000 toward the one mile stretch. Officials cited unpaid subcontract bills totaling around 12000 and questioned escrowed funds as the source of the final contract balance. The group discussed escrow letters dated 1961 62 showing 6000 in Carbondale National Bank and personal checks later withdrawn. County attorney Leaton warned the matter may require court action to assign responsibility for unpaid bills between the bonding company and the county. A former Chester resident, John F. Hirte, 74, died Saturday in Sparta after a lengthy illness.
