Unanimous Budget Passed by City Board With Allocations
The council approved a 198 budget totaling SHRG.1S 14, with reductions due to earlier miscalculations. City expenses total $148,466.94 and county expenses plus deficits bring the overall figures to fund sewer and highway needs, while borough allocations are listed for Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Richmond. The Controller defended an upcoming $1500 special revenue bond, disputing governor claims of transit delays and asserting restraint within debt limits.
