Cambria residents plan drive to curb burglaries
About 15 Cambria residents met with the village board to discuss recent burglaries and prevention. They plan a town meeting with experts on burglary prevention and encourage calling police for suspicious activity. Residents suspect juveniles commit the crimes, which often occur on weekends after dark. Representatives from state police and Williamson County detective unit may attend. The board also chose Community Cablevision Co to supply cable service, with an ordinance to follow.

The Illinois attorney general filed in Williamson County Circuit Court to shut Riggs Mining Company’s coal operation east of Energy for operating without a surface mining permit.

A temporary restraining order was denied and a Friday hearing set on a preliminary injunction. James Riggs is named as owner.

Inland begins coal sales to utilities at Lesser mine
Inland Steel Coal Co plans moving 100000 tons of Southern Illinois coal this fall to Union Electric Co of St Louis in its first utility sale. A January fire disrupted No 1 mine prep near Lesser for months. Kilburg says Inland will seek further steel industry sales and may open a Danville area mine, selling coal commercially if excess remains. The coal remains among Illinois' cleaner varieties suitable for power plants and meets air standards though not pure enough for steel making.
