By Ed Waggener

In last night's Fiscal Court meeting, the Magistrates approved a recommendation by Adair County Judge Ann Melton to hire three new part time road employees to help the county handle the backlog of mowing caused by excellent spring rains.

The perfect growing season for grass and brush, coupled with floods and storms, have put the Adair County Road Department several weeks behind in mowing the 600 miles of roadside the county maintains.
