Auburn streets to get paved An East Wawanosh Township request to have the Huron County roads department include the resurfacing of two Auburn Streets in its 1987 paving program has been granted. News that the county engineer has been directed to include the resurfacing of Turnberry and Mill Streets in the 1987 program was included in the presentation of the road committee report to Huron County Council at its January session.
