Both agencies reported continued growth in 2012, showing assets at the end of the year of nearly $31,000,000, a 20% increase over last year! The agencies began operations in 1983 with a few thousand dollars and a dream for economic recovery in Lawrence County...dreams do come true! Rapid financial growth along with a multi-million dollar cash flow for numerous construc- tion projects presented many challenges for effective and accurate accounting. To ensure that our agencies are meeting these challenges, the state of Ohio requires that we undergo annual audits from outside auditing firms. We have completed audits for the last two years with no findings and have been recognized with the “Auditor of State” award for perfect audits. The public can rest assured that we are using these entrusted funds for the benefit of all!

A\^II.I.IAMS Volume I. THE SCIOTO Salt Springs JACKSON, OHIO 1900 1217096 PREFACE. The preparation of this work has been a labor of love. It was undertaken not for profit, but for the pleasure which I derive from the study of the past. I have been urged to write a complete his- tory of Jackson county. The material for such a work has been collected, but its publication will depend upon the reception ac- corded to this volume, which is devoted to the period from the advent of man to the sale of the Scioto Salt Springs. Jackson, O., May 22, 1900. INTRODUCTION—Jackson is the seat of justice of an Ohio county of the same name. It is situated on an eastern branch of the Scioto river, in latitude 39 degrees, 15 minutes, north, and longitude 82 degrees, 41 minutes and 48 seconds, west. It was laid out in 1817, on the north half of Section 29, in the Scioto Salt Reserve. This township had been set aside by Congress May 18, 1796, on account of the salt springs within its limits. These springs or licks, are as old as the hills, for that erosion which carved out the valleys between, exposed the strata from which they flow. They were discovered by the wild animals of the forest, and became one of their most favored resorts long before man appeared upon the earth.
