City Council stalls on revenue while approving some bids
In seven hour sessions the council failed to agree on new revenue sources to raise one million dollars for the budget. The committee added ten thousand to one and a half million for industrial promotion and advertising and two thousand to ten thousand for the Long Beach Safety Council. The Miss Universe Pageant received forty thousand despite an appeal to raise to fifty thousand. The Convention and Visitors Bureau also got forty thousand after a failed bid to raise to forty four thousand. Proposals for the Los Angeles Philharmonics and Long Beach Mounted Police faced deadlocks. A five hundred dollar youth band grant was rejected but could be reconsidered. Earlier, debate over one man patrol cars and extending city health services to private schools continued without a decision.
