County Row Ends In Compromise Over Hospital Bonds
Bannock and Caribou county officials met in Boise Friday to settle the dispute over hospital bonds and road equipment. Caribou will receive 50,000 toward a 10 bed hospital unit before the November election, while Bannock keeps ownership of the disputed equipment. The compact prevents possible legislative action that might have favored Caribou with more property and funds. A district court decision had given Bannock ownership of the equipment, but the compromise sought to avert further court or legislative action.
