NUNDA TOWNSHIP ROAD PROBLEMS ARE UNRESOLVED (Continued from page 1) Commenting about the money issue, Powell stated, "We don't believe that it is our job to tell county politicians how to raise money. The politicians will find a way if we apply the pressure. Votes are what matter to these people, even if they need to twist arms" in Springfield. We're only beginning to apply this pressure." Frank Borowski of Griswold Lake Hills stated that Geske and his lawyer are willing to sit down with representatives of the group to further discuss the road maintenance problem. This promise was made at the second session of the Nunda township annual meeting which, because of the main­ tenance issue, was continued for the second time, this time until September. Three representatives, including Borowski, Bill Sutton of Jacoby's and Jim Morris were appointed to set up a time and place to discuss the issue with Geske. The group resolved that complete disregard and legal counsel be given to prior at­ tempts to gain Township Road maintenance of subdivsion roads. Court battles fought between individual subdivisions and the Township Road Commissioner did not take into consideration of what actually are public roads.
