Cedar Rapids faces mounting fiscal 1977 strains with the council anticipating higher salaries from collective bargaining, rising fuel and utility costs, a $175,000 electric bill increase for I 380 lighting, and uncertain federal revenue sharing. March 15 budget certification looms and options like local taxes seem unlikely before then.
City officials weigh layoffs and shorter work weeks to curb deficits as safety and health concerns are prioritized. Union impacts, private vs public costs, fee increases, and potential local taxes are debated while preserving core services like garbage pickup and public safety.
The Central branch YMCA announces fall offerings for boys and girls six to 12 including flag football and girls basketball, plus new arts and crafts and synchronized swimming classes.

Fall swimming lessons at Elizabeth Bender pool begin with registrations on Tuesday at 9 30 a m at the pool office 940 Fourteenth Avenue SE. Programs run Oct 21 to Nov 20 with ten lessons for children and adults, taught by Red Cross water safety instructors.
