A new committee will face an easier task in January by basing spending on license revenue sufficient to cover interest on city debt or run the street department for the year. If savings are found, debt could drop by about one hundred thousand dollars, and the next year's tax rate may hover around twenty dollars, possibly not exceeding twenty one.
