Streets Budget Holds Back 1957 Plans Amid Shortfall
The city faces a $392 000 street maintenance budget for 1957 up from 1956 but expects cash shortages in early 1957. Officials consider borrowing from other departments, repaid from the street budget once tax receipts arrive, and plan to cut maintenance to cap costs. Rock and oil costs, higher rock pricing, intercepting approaches, and oversized paving near connections drive the shortfall.
