Petition Dismissed In Hofmeister Autopsy Case
District Court Judge Dar Cogswell dismissed a writ of mandate seeking release of the June Darlene Hofmeister autopsy report. Petitioners and heirs of Mrs. Hofmeister had urged the coroner to file the report so the death could be ruled accidental, not a homicide. The petitioners’ attorney said they obtained the needed information by court action and that the death is shown as accidental. Coroner Dale Coffelt said he still has the original report and had not seen the dismissal order.

Shore Survey Finds Scattered Fair Sewage Systems in Bonner County
A by lot survey of shoreline sewage systems in parts of Bonner County details scattered problem areas, mostly addressed during the survey. Conducted in summer 1974 by Panhandle Health District, the study covers Cocolalla Lake, Pend Oreille River south shore, and Moyie River with plans to study more areas next summer. funding bottlenecks arise as EPA covers only treatment costs, and aging subdivisions with 50 by 100 foot lots fail to meet current standards.
