Jackson pleads for court reforms and a Pleasantville blast
A plea for court reforms to heal a breach within the tribunal follows news of Pleasantville rocked by a blast that left one man dead. The council plans to open bids on sewer bonds as part of local civil actions. A new state traffic safety campaign unfolds with broad enforcement to curb reckless driving. Highway patrol, fish and game, and liquor control agents will coordinate stops and warnings, issuing information cards to violators. After three complaints, drivers may face a board of inspectors to consider license suspension, aiming to cut accidents. Secretary John B. Kelly touts this as a real reduction in wrecks.
