Gibson County: Joyce M. Ashworth, Evelyn Church, Nancy Faulkner Coleman, Alesha Dawn Whittemore, By Darla Carter Sun reporter Residents in three areas of Camden will have the opportunity to switch from septic tanks to sewer service when three projects are completed by year's end. The city is expected to award bids today for three projects in the Norwood Subdivision area, Highway 641 and Oakdale Road Extended, said Mayor Mary Phyll Waggoner. Four companies from across West Tennessee submitted bids by the Tuesday deadline, Waggoner said. But bids will not be awarded until they are inspected by city engineers, she said.

Once a bid is awarded, work is expected to begin within 60 days, with work being completed by the end of 1992, she said. The sewer project along Oak-dale Road Extended is being funded by a $400,000 grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency. The city is providing an unestimated amount of funds for the other two projects. It is unclear how many residents will benefit from the projects. Norwood Subdivision and Oakdale Road Extended were chosen because the city wants to "serve our citizens," while Highway 641 was chosen be- NAACP chief if Beckwith is JACKSON, Miss.
