No Action On Sikeston Sewers Stalled By Unclear Plans
The Sikeston city council has taken no recorded action in a week on the proposed sewer system. A general revenue bond for the city’s share is suggested but may be illegal.

There is strong local concern about using citywide funds for a single sewer segment. The Works Progress Administration district supervisor, a local resident, has spoken, and state officials have recently visited, making information on the federal role accessible.
