Budget officials project a four million dollar cushion to cover day to day operations with a balanced plan for 1963 64 and 1964 65. Saw yer notes operating expenditures will not exceed anticipated revenues and no new levy or tax rate increase. The first year would show a deficit despite higher general fund appropriations, while revenues and reversions balance the plan.
