Sewer Tap Motion Okayed by Princeton Sanitary Board
The Princeton Sanitary Board approved a motion at its last Wednesday meeting setting a minimum $100 per tap for trailer courts within city limits. The plan counts an entire trailer court as one unit, to avoid $100 per trailer when lines already exist. C. J. Hylton and C. L. Helmick supported the measure with C. Howard Leist voting against it. Annexations prompted the action as no trailer courts existed in Princeton prior.

Supreme Court ruling allows coal strip leases without regional EIS
The Supreme Court unanimously reversed a lower court ruling and held the Interior Department may issue coal strip mining leases in the northern Great Plains without a four state environmental impact statement. The 90,000 square mile region covers parts of Wyoming Montana North Dakota and South Dakota. Justice Powell noted no regional development plan exists to analyze and any impact statement would be speculative. Up to 80 percent of U.S. coal lies on land owned by the federal government or requires federal rights of way.
