Fairmont road bond urged to finish paving project
Voters in the Fairmont district are asked to authorize a $100,000 bond issue to complete street and road improvements now underway. City officials, county court, and state engineers argue the additional funds are essential to finish proper paving and prevent future costly rebuilds. The Fairmont Chamber of Commerce pushed the petition, warning that without the bond, current brick and asphalt work would be inadequate or temporarily built, impairing the city’s industrial and commercial prospects.
