Willet seeks end to cubic yard landfill disposal fee
Senator Gerald L. Willet of Park Rapids introduced legislation to abolish the 15 cents per cubic yard charge on landfill operators. He argued the fee is unworkable and inequitable due to varying compaction by waste haulers, and proposed funding for study of alternative disposal systems from the general fund.

Minnesota DNR unveils $280,000 grants for new snowmobile trails
Donald Davison announces mailed applications for grants in aid to build new snowmobile trails across Minnesota. Don Ledin notes the 1973 74 winter plan aims to triple last year’s 506 miles with 1000 miles possible, 65 percent funded by the state and 35 percent by local governments via trail work or equipment rental. Nine new corridors totaling about six hundred miles are designated, including the Minnesota Wisconsin Boundary Trail and the Luce Line, with a federally designated North Country Trail entering near Danbury, Wisconsin. The system aims for statewide recreational use coordinated with neighboring states.
