Budget Plan Offers Non Grant Path for Sewage Plant
Councilman Don Shelton presents a revised 1977 78 budget cutting costs and reallocating federal revenue sharing to fund sewage treatment plant improvements without 201 funds. He says the austere plan avoids debt and millage increases, preserving city identity while leaving other areas open to restoration if new cuts are found. The proposal contrasts with the pending November advisory vote on pursuing the 201 grant and notes hearings on federal revenue sharing remain.

Coffee prices push shoppers to smaller cans at local markets
Shoppers at J and C Family Foods and A and P reduce coffee purchases to one and two pound cans amid rising costs. Tea sales rise but not enough to offset coffee declines. Local markets report space reallocated from large three pound cans and plan cost saving tips while other notices cover school board disputes and a new community helper club event.
