County Defers Road Marking Project Amid High Costs
A letter from Ruth Markley, county clerk, to Mrs Herman King argues against numbering and marking Wayne County roads. Estimated cost ranges from 15000 to 20000 dollars with 450 dollars annual maintenance. Past Medina County road markers cost 3500 in 1940. The board favors delaying the project due to finances and limited local traffic benefit.
