COMMUNITY INFORMATION: 

Memorial Day Service, will be Monday, May 27th, at 9:00 a.m. at the Princeton Community Center.  American Legion Post #347 will officiate.

Public Works requests you do not put anything into the sewer system except toilet paper.  Hand wipes, baby wipes, etc., although they say they are biodegradable, accumulate and have caused numerous sewer back-ups.

On-Line Bill payment is being discussed as an option by the City Council.  If you have an opinion regarding this issue, please come to the City Council meeting, May 9th, at 6:00 p.m. and voice your opinion.

Still looking for volunteers for an informal census.  Princeton, according to the census, has lost population.  Because of some of the results, the Mayor and Council question its accuracy and, before undertaking an expensive Special Census, will be taking an informal one to see if it merits an expenditure.  If you would like to assist with this, please contact City Hall.  This will not take a lot of time.
