Cutback Eyed for Sewer Bond Issue in Myrtle Point

City Administrator Ben Nichols cited poor grant prospects from Farmers Home Administration and possible future federal loans, suggesting postponing storm sewer work and resealing old lines. He estimated debt could rise by 500000 without major tax or rate hikes. Action postponed to Oct 19 with full council present. Wage increase for ambulance calls also deferred.
