Budget woes hit The Pas amid tax relief hopes and lost provincial grants
The 1967 Town of The Pas budget disappoints taxpayers as council grapples with rising municipal costs.

The Vocational School adds to losses under a 5 percent assessment rule. The paper urges council to press government for relief and protect revenues.
