Princeton City Council postponed a public hearing on a controversial garbage ordinance due to issues raised by the West Virginia Public Service Commission. Proposals would bill garbage with sewage and apply payments first to garbage. Citizens argued they should control what funds pay, and some want to opt for landfill disposal. The PSC plans to meet with the city, and a second hearing on universal billing was moved to December. About 50 residents attended the canceled session amid prior rate hikes to 8.50 dollars per month.
