Correction
\
In last week’s paper one
of our headlines stated that
license plates would go on
sale in Burnsville February
3. Actually the sale of licen
se plates began on Monday,
January 3. -
*" If you read the article
you noted that the sale be
gan January 3 Instead of
February 3. However, we are
sorry for the error. \ *
