City Council Probes 1979 Budget Cuts and Library Funding
City Council will review Mayor Rogan's 1979 budget after already trimming 160000 from the proposal. If no further cuts occur, the total budget would be 5901000, up 2.05 percent from 1978. A 30 percent rise in electrical rates and a 22.7 percent proposed tax increase shape talks, with council aiming to lower the hike to about 15 percent. The panel may seek more money for the New Castle Public Library, which would receive 211355 under the plan, a near two thousand dollar cut. The library’s city share funds about 60 percent of its budget. The mayor has proposed 1.8 mills of property tax for the library.
