Black River to renew 5 mill levy to stave off deficit
Black River Local Schools will place a 5 mill two year operating levy on the November ballot after a defeat on August 1. The district projects a 1979 deficit of about $182,000 even after March cuts saving $178,467 for 1978.

Lodi tightens density on undeveloped high-density zones
Lodi Village Council approved reducing all undeveloped R-3 high-density residential land to R-2 in a 4-2 vote as part of a two-year zoning ordinance revision. The change limits densities to four to six units per acre and aims to slow growth while preserving cheaper housing through potential future variances. A separate vote approved a 200-foot pipe extension and two catch basins to ease west side flooding.
