Lane or his heirs after Raleigh County officials auctioned Lane’s East Prince Street property to cover delinquent taxes and a paving lien. Deputy commissioner Sosracind notes taxes haven’t been paid since 1929 on the vacant McCreery Court Addition lot. The Special Receiver holds the funds to benefit Lane or heirs.

Inspectors Rating of City Defined at Meet
Princeton officials discussed fire protection ratings and potential premium savings at a Rotary Club luncheon. Robert Carr outlined that Princeton is Class 7, with steps to maintain Class 8 and a path to Class 7 from Class 9 risk. A new fire equipment project could raise savings to about 30,000 annually if upgraded. total costs run around 40,000 with 28,000 paid. Carr also noted wage comparisons for street crews, a trash hauling contract, and a planned street sweeper forMercer and Thorn Streets. A sewage disposal plant survey by Settlerane Engineers, costing 250,000 to 400,000, would be financed by water usage fees and state health compliance could compel construction.
