Court to rule on Goldendale street work dispute
In Goldendale Washington Judge Donald McMaster heard arguments Friday over the city street improvement project financed by a 90000 dollar bond issue awarded to J J Hill Company last June. Local property owners led by George R Brown challenge bids as uncompetitive and excessive, saying the project risks confiscation of property and that personal service on J F Hill was previously lacking. The judge reserved decision for September 17 as Mayor and officials push for no further delays in the work.
