Goreville reviews sewer improvements
Goreville Village Board discussed progress on upgrades to the sewer system. City Clerk Leonard Robison said the system can be updated satisfactorily and officials will smoke tests for leaks and surface water entry. The board also plans to extend service to a Park Street residence and will seek EPA review to use plant ash in drying beds instead of Indiana sand.

Marion library faces major repair bills
Marion's 68 year old library faces costly repairs after two experts raised concerns about a water problem causing basement leaks. The issue has rotted a stage, damaged door casings, and humidity prevents basement book storage while other building repairs and a fire escape upgrade are eyed before any expansion.

Cambria Won’t Appeal Ruling Over Mobile Home Stay
Cambria Village Board will not challenge the Fifth District Court ruling allowing a Cambria mobile home to remain at the corner of Ralph and Riechert Streets. The board, led by President Robert Sewell, dropped the matter as no longer necessary and discussed village cable proposals and a street-lease request from Gary Stanley for a garage. Jim Kiefer was named to the board, replacing Don Martin, who resigned. Terry Claunch was appointed on a 90 day trial basis as village policeman.
