Herrin Council debates city hall site and landfill plans
The Herrin City Council schedules three meetings this week to discuss a new city hall site at Park and Madison, and a proposed sanitary landfill. The plan commission and public building commission will review the city hall project with chairman John McVey confirming the present site. A lawsuit over damage to the water shed is tied to Forsythe Coal Co. and a proposal to donate strip mine land if the suit is dropped. A separate measure would fund a half block parking lot between Monroe and Madison facing 14th Street.
