Priest River Drops Summer Street Oil Plan After Burglary
Priest River city council cites high replacement costs from last month's burglary as the reason oiling streets this summer is abandoned. Work crews will water streets, with possible detergent mix for better penetration. The council approves routine items, aiding repairs on streets used for children races during Loggers Celebration and agrees to pay $30 monthly for water quality testing at the new sewage plant. A permanent dog license ordinance is enacted requiring yearly registration with fees of $5 for unspayed females and $3 for males and spayed females.
