Morgan is in charge and is looking for anyone with a team for sale at a reasonable price. : The city council held its monthly meeting last night and there was a great deal of routine with no significant action. : At present, Jefferson County is well-represented at the university with 13 of the students on the campus coming from Jefferson. : Efforts are under way to preserve 300 acres of a redwood forest in the area of San Francisco.”
