Four houses to be demolished within city
| 
| 
The property at 503 Calhoun Ave. has been both an eyesore and health hazard for several years. Located adjacent to Woolfolk Middle School, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved to finally demolish the house.
Danny Neely, code enforcement officer, said the necessary steps have been taken.
“The owners have been notified, and (today there is) a public hearing to decide whether this property is to be brought up to code or demolished with the board making that decision,” Neely said, distributing photographs of the property.
But city leaders were all too familiar with the parcel. The process for the Calhoun lot had to begin again because of incorrect procedures in the past.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
