Larsen who will be moving from the city. At the same meeting a moratorium was declared on granting any new water connections to the city water system. In the Nov. 4 election Ferron residents defeated two bond propositions, one for the issuance of a $50,000 general obligation bond, the other for a $200,000 revenue The bond. same propositions will come before the voters again Dec. 10. The funds are needed to pay an interest free loan of $160,000 approved by the State Water Resources Board for Ferron Citys water improvements. The additional bonding is necessary in the event the project cost surpasses engineers estimates. The city has until January 1 to pick up the interest free loan approved by the State Water Resources Board which is pending the outcome of the second election. The loan guarantee to the city will be lost at that time if the bond proposition fails the second time around.
