City Faces Budget Shortfall and Revenue Gaps
City finances show lagging revenues against May budget, with about 234000 available until Feb 1 1950. August payrolls ran 114617, while garbage fees drain the general fund at 65000 annually. Slippage prompts possible rate hikes or sales tax rejection. slot machine fees may offset 1950 expenses, while paving and golf project funding await budget approval.

Miners Benefit Payments Delayed After Trustees Meeting
A three member trustees board halted $100 million annual welfare payments to aged and disabled miners and dependents after a five hour session. The action, opposed by Lewis and overruled by Bridges and Ezra Van Horn, pauses benefits as revenues fall amid reduced work weeks and delinquent contributions. 8000 miners in Utah and Wyoming reportedly walked out, while a new contract stagnates after months of negotiations.
