Terry oil value drop may trigger BRMC tax rise
Terry Memorial Hospital District faces a steep potential revenue loss from mineral valuation cuts in 1987. Hospital Administrator Pat McMillan cited a per barrel value drop from 27.50 to 17.87, risking about 281 220 in tax revenue and a 25 percent fall in district receipts. To offset this, layoffs of 4 to 7 staff are possible as costs tighten.
