City council considers delaying third reading of revised annexation ordinance to keep new territory off 1943 tax rolls. Officials claim one more year to prepare utilities and services, while opponents accuse stalling. Boundary changes remove St. Mary's area and several western and northern tracts amid petitions from hundreds of residents.
