County board votes to condemn land for safer Route 52 plan
Lee Shaver opposed the measure as the only board member against it. Campbell told the board the state highway department seeks to relocate Route 52 from the Fairgrounds corner to the Y at Routes 78 and 2. The plan requires 100 foot right of way and cost study by the committee, with possible Mt Carrol cooperation. Campbell urged paving Lanark to Chisolm corners east of Chadwick, noting gravel road maintenance costs and traffic volume. Carson named highway committee to pursue the matter.
