Oar. THE RECORD
GETS RESULTS
FIVE CENTS PER COPY
Board Finds Way To
Spend Every Penny
The Law Will Allow
Dunn’s city council last night agreed to give town
employees a two and a half percent a,cross-the-board raise
in salary rather that cut the tax rate three cents. The
rate will remain at $1.65 per SIOO valuation.
Tonight at 6 o’clock the board will meet to officially
adopt the tentative budget which, under the law, must
remain open for public inspection for 30 days.
The officials spent all that the law will allow and
kept the tax rate as high as the law will allow.
In a session lasting around three
and a half hours, the Council dis
cussed the possibility of either
reducing the tax rate or giving city
employees the raise. City Manager
A. B. Uzzle stated this morning that
the raise will mean an expenditure
of approximately *3,500.
There was practically no senti
ment for a tax reduction last night,
altough Commissioner J. Leon God
win expressed the hope today that
the rate can be cut next ye^
Neither Mayor Ralph Hanna nor
members of his board brought up
the fact that citizens were told
last spring that expense could be
cut enough to provide a retirement
plan costing 11 cents par Sioo.
PEOPLA WANTED CUTS
Since the retirement plan was de
feated, citizens contend that they
are entitled to a reduction of U
cents in the rate. Officials . teat
night completely ignored ffilk.
City Manager Uzzle was among
those who said that the retirement
plan could be added without-r.'tau-
Increase.
It was Mayor Hanna who fought
vigorously against a tax cut last
year and broke the tie against re.
during taxes.
Mayor- Fire Chief Hanna’s new
fire trucks constitute one of the
main reason why taxes can’t be
cut. TThe town tb*» *ear will have to
make smother *8,758 52 D»vment on

Chief Hanna 1» now advocating the
purchase of still another truck.

Operation of Dunn’s fire depart

utility fund where *17,034.89 was

Several other minor reductions
were made in an effort to stay
within toe budget, Uzzle announced.
The Planning Board which Is con. I
