Final Draft of $17 Million Austin Budget Presented
Austin's largest city budget, totaling 17,623,402 dollars, was presented to the City Council for final approval at an informal briefing with City Manager Walter Seaholm and top officials. Final action is expected January 25. The plan adds 415,000 over the tentative budget, largely due to a 375,000 federal grant for Brackenridge Hospital expansion. It earmarks over half for capital improvements funded by bonds, with water rates rising about one dollar per month to support city salaries. The projected year end cash balance is 175,091 dollars, though questions arose over 175,000 set aside in 1950 for school transfers and subsequent contingency spending.
