Trego's Bill Cut Sixty Per Cent
City council members endured a long nocturnal session to curb Tregoism after a published city ballot prompted a $67.50 claim for sixty seven inches of epoxy work. The finance committee cut the bill by 60 percent, allowing $27.50, while Trego threatened lawsuits and a rival bid emerged at 25 cents per inch. Mrs George Margin of Mackay visited Blackfoot and returned home Saturday after several days.
