County opens budget talks amid higher expenses
County commissioners faced rising costs in 1967 budget discussions while the general fund balance neared 495 000 dollars. A tax bill mailing practice helped maintain cushion, with potential for tax relief or extra financing as 1967 taxes arrive. A separate report noted a three year old injured by a construction flare pot on South Side, with the girl hospitalized in good condition and the gas company relocating temporary flameless markers.

Bessemer Council Sets Jan 16 Budget Session
Bessemer Borough will open 1967 budget talks January 16 with 27 996 dollars left in the bank from last year. The balance will fund the first half of 1967 until taxes flow in and the opening balance last year was 23 961 dollars. The surplus reduces the need to borrow funds. The 1967 budget is expected to exceed last year’s 72 589 dollar plan and public display will run mid February for 10 days before adoption. At the latest meeting traffic flow at Second Street and Poland Avenue drew concern over a convex mirror and sight lines as trucks deliver to a nearby store.
