"The reference to vehicles being overweight pertains to the road's ability to structurally support the load, and not to the legally imposed maximum weight allowed by law," McFarland said. McFarland said Acme maintains logs and weight records, in full compliance with trucking laws, that those documents verify the loads did not exceed legal weight limits, and that the records are open for public scrutiny. McFarland said during the county commission's May 4 meeting that Acme had damaged the roads by using them to carry overweight loads of material. Commissioner Pete Coleman said McFarland has asked to be on next Monday's commission meeting agenda to further discuss the matter and clear up any misunderstandings, publicly and for the record. irA ft r t pendence Tuesday night to K&P" Plumbing.

The charge to run obituaries will be $11.70 per published inch. As in the past, The Daily Herald will accept obituaries from funeral homes or from private parties. Obituaries submitted by private parties will continue to be subject to mandatory confirmation by a licensed funeral home. placing as obituaries through a mortuary will be billed; advance payment will be required from those placing obituaries as a private party. Photos are optional and will carry an additional $5 charge. The Daily Herald will publish death notices free of charge for anyone whose death would be of interest to its readers, regardless of whether an obituary is purchased. Those death notices will include the following information: name, age, community of residence, date of death and the name of the mortuary handling funeral arrange- ments. Funeral service details will be published in an obituary or in a mortuary's funeral notice. The newspaper has been criticized in the past because it has not been able to allow friends and relatives to include all the extra information about the deceased they wanted, Parkinson said.
