YAKIMA (Friday, 5-15-98)--The Sunnyside City Council will hear a report Monday on the Dark Horse Inn's compliance with agreements reached months ago to be quieter on behalf of nearby residents.
 
The Council March 9 approved the Dark Horse Inn's liquor license renewal, withdrawing a Jan. 20 action to deny it. On the line will be approval by the city of future DH liquor licenses.
