Myrtle Creek Bond Issue Still Waits Commission Okay A proposed $250,000 bond issue for construction of a water filtra tion plant at Myrtle Creek stiil is awaiting the go-ahead trom the State Bond Commission. The Myrtle Creek City Council set aside a proposed Dec. 27 an nexation election date Tuesday night because the commission hasn't granted approval of the pro posal, according to Mrs. Ruth Ev ans. News-Review correspondent. The commission enters the pic lure because it financed the city's sewer system, and the city's obli- gallons tions still are outstanding The annexation of the Kast Myr tle area probably depends on whether the water bonds are pass ed by voters in the city, Mrs. Ev ans reported. The state commis sion also is reported to be studying a condition in the proposal that the city may sell water to out lying areas. City Recorder G. D. Myllenbeck said todav that SXVOoti of the pro posed bonds would be earmarked for carrying water to the East Myrtle area, should it be annexed. 1 The annexation election had been set up tentatively for Dee. ?7, but the City Council took no action on an election date Tuesday night. Myllenbeck said it possibly will be held in January. In other action, the council ap pointed Mrs. V. V. Haney to a four-year term on the library ! board and Maurice Stanley to a two-year term to replace J. B. ; Nelson on the library hoard. Del Williams was named to the park hoard lo replace the Rev.
