Aldermen OK Increased City Budget For 1951
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a 1951 budget increase of 25,297 over original plans and adopted a five day work week for city employees. Most of the rise comes from appropriated funds to cover unforeseen costs and wage review for lower bracket workers. Saturday offices grants begin January 1, with police and certain water department staff exempt from the shorter week and compensated with higher hourly rates.
