Today was the third day running for the new Community News page on page B3 in the Beacon Journal. Ads appeared for the first time. There were 34 column inches of advertising or about 27 per cent of the 129 column inches on the page. All ads were from advertisters in Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and Barberton– none from outlying areas.
There was only one news item concerning local government. Three graphs were given to a plan by Medina school board to seek a sales tax increase. Another brief was about a Summit County elections board employee who will remain off the job while the sheriff investigates allegations he rented a truck without authorization. The other 10 items were about crimes.
