Water Budget Proposed by Long Beach Water Dept
A proposed annual budget totaling 7,104,630 dollars was submitted to Long Beach water commissioners by Brennan Thomas, general manager of the Municipal Water Department. The plan, awaiting two absent board members, projects no rate changes, notes a rainy winter reduced this year’s revenue, and forecasts a 4 percent drop in personal service expenses offset by wage uncertainties pending City Council action. It includes 218,000 in capital outlay for a 164.5 acre subdivision near the Municipal Airport with sale of parcels to payroll producing firms, and anticipates 564,878 from property sales. Staffing is pegged at 250, down from 254 authorized and 242 employed.

City Council Studies Cats Population and New Pet Rules
Long Beach officials ordered a study of cat control measures and possible limits on cat numbers. A proposed five cat limit over four months was discussed but not enacted. The committee asked the city manager and attorney to examine broader changes including a $10 license fee for unspayed cats and dogs. Humane Society urged the inquiry amid reports of 160 to 200 animals destroyed weekly due to overcrowding. A curb law targeting dog owners who leave animals as nuisances was approved.
