Section 2. That at the time of adoption of said budget, it could
not h~ve been' reasonably forseen that such additional sum would be re-
quired for legal publications, and that the telephone tax would be in-
creased from 2% to 3% with the eli-~ination of all free telephones there-
by increasing telephone costs by $117.00 per month, and that a special
election would be held on an initiative ordinance, and that the assessed
value would be greater than first reported and payments f~m the Housing
Authority greater taan anticipated thereby increasing the contribution
required under our Regional Library agreement, and. that telephone costs
would be greater at the Cemetery, and that cost of heating the '~raffic
Maintenance Shop would exceed the original estimate, and that increasing
the number andi'power of street lights would casue this appropriation to
be insufficient, and that unforseen major .~aintenance on the Radio Main-
tenance truck would make such appropriation insufficient. By reason of
the insufficient appropriations heretofore made it is necessary that the
above appropriations be made from funds not otherwise appropriated, and
the respective sums are hereby appropriated to the funds and items here-
inabove set out. That by reason of the insufficient appropriations, there
exists ana is hereby declared to existm emergency, and this Ordinance is
