One property owner broke down in tears last week as she begged city leaders to give her a little more time to clean her property.
Stella Cobb, owner of 725 E. Madison St., appeared before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for the second time over the past few weeks to request an extension in cleaning up her property.
The property has an deteriorating house on it with a roof that is open to the elements.
Cobb told board members that she is trying to clean out the aging house whenever weather permits her to do so. She was given a notice in December to have the property maintained within 90 days.

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.
