the amendments and the new bud-
get.

budget workshop at which no ques-

cludes a merit raise for the town's
four employees, and keeps the
same tax rate--20 cents per $100
valuation for the general fund and
0.9 cents per $100 valuation for the
water and sewer funds.
In the general fund, a total of
$66,722 is appropriated for the po-
lice department and $11,800 is ap-
propriated for streets. A total of
$14,855 is earmarked for Grover
Municipal Park. Total expenditures
from the general fund are estimated
to be $238,855. and total utility

testing. Earmarked for street im-
provements in the Powell Fund is
$31,720.00.
