Excelon, county haggle over Mullinville blacktop repairs

The Kiowa County Commissioners held a special meeting last Thursday to inspect an approximate six-mile stretch of the Mullinville blacktop. Road and bridge officials have been negotiating with representatives from Excelon over costs associated with its repair. The special meeting came after Kiowa County Road And Bridge Supervisor Gunnar Stauth and Excelon Representative Dan Bloom could not agree on an amount.
