The Yazoo County Board of Supervisors approved terms for an interlocal agreement with the city in which the county would provide $4,500 monthly for the operation of the city’s rubbish pit.
Board attorney Jay Barbour presented a document to the board Monday that outlined the terms of the agreement. The board voted to send the agreement to Yazoo City’s Mayor and Board of Aldermen for approval.
Yazoo City officials originally budgeted for the county to pay $9,500 monthly for the rubbish pit. City leaders arrived at that figure without consulting county officials.

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.
