Long Beach Chamber Urges Recreation Budget Rebalance
Directors of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce urged the city manager to align the per capita cost of the City Recreation Department with other cities. They called for trimming the recreation budget to the 1947 48 tax levy, funding up to 180 600 for facilities, minus 20 500 for the Service Men's Club, and shifting 540 000 from recreation to maintain facilities plus 350 000 for a greenhouse. The plan favored studying the recreation program to cut less essential activities based on Arthur Huge’s taxation committee report.
