difficult to maintain a high level of service.

bread and butter budget for the coming year. Some incomes of the city
have not been up to what we estimated and we must immediately move to
make those adjustments to keep our budget in line. There will not be
any extra funding available for various projects of the kind we were
used to having. He stated there will have to be a very close job of
monitoring done of these funds to make sure we can keep on an even
keel. He stated the preliminary 1982 budget will be out this week.
