City budget praised as within limits and forecast surplus
Mayor B F Howard reported the 1940 41 budget was balanced with receipts exceeding estimates and expenses under budget. The city would start 1941 42 with about 12707 in reserve, while the current year ended with 7850 more receipts than expected and 4857 under disbursements. A 2300 garbage truck cost exceeded by 800 but higher collection fees offset the overrun.
