In other business Monday
night, the council approved
capital improvements for
Sanger Election System
before passing two policy
resolutions.
The first resolution prohi-
bits city police from answer-
ing calls outside the city
limits unless requested by
another police agency or in
extreme emergencies.
Requests for assistance
from persons outside the
city limits will be referred to
the appropriate police agen-
cy in the future.
The other resolution pro-
hibits city employes from
using the Fire Department’s
recreational facilities unless
accompanied by a volunteer
fireman.
Those two resolutions were
distributed to city em-
ployes through a memo from
City Secretary Dave Marr
this week.
Action on the new city
budget was delayed until
Monday night to give Marr
more time to complete his
financial data for the year.

7.2 per cent increase in
revenue.
Under the new rate sche-
dule, local business service
vill increase from $11.50 per
nonth to $13.25, one-party
residence service will in-
crease $1.30 per month to
$7.40 and extension tele-

increase to $12.25, residence
two party to $5.75 and

Goodger said Central
recorded a four per cent
return on its investment last
year and the new rates
would give the company
between $8,000 and $9,000
per month additional funds.
Operating expenses, he
said, had increased 29 per
* cent since the last telephone
rate increase was granted in
1971.
Sanger currently has 124
business telephones and 905
residence phones, he said.
“I think it’s a very minimal
increase,” Goodger told the
council prior to the passage
of an ordinance allowing the

The Farmers Home Admi-
nistration approved the loan
sometime ago but federal
approval has held the
expansion up. More money
had to be approved due to
the rising costs of con-
struction before the pro
gram could get underway.
Bolivar Water Corporation
president Waymon Lugin-
byhl said that because of the
extra amount of the loan,
rates would have to raised
for members of the Cor-
poration.
Three wells will be dug,
one at Slidell, one at Lois
and one at Plainview west of
Krum.
This should take care of
around 600 additional mem-
