After two hours of searching department balances they could only find about 4000, leaving the budget largely untouched for the year. They hope to secure 2000 more from the school district to fund a baseball diamond at Athletic Field, but the county share may not be paid this year. A dental clinic at the new tuberculosis hospital was rejected as not in the budget and will wait until next year.
