Hearing postponed on Amherst ditch clean up proposal
Lorain County commissioners extended the hearing to March 15 on a petition to clean Bivens ditch in Amherst Township. James Wagner and the Norfolk and Western Railroad would perform some cleaning tasks, with County Engineer Harvey Holcomb and assistant Charles Waryn noting a combined Engel and Bivens ditch project could cost about 50 000 dollars. The plan, which also involves Engel ditch, was previously dropped in 1949 due to owner opposition to assessments. Amherst officials railroad reps and property owners attended the session.
