City runs short on revenues:
A projected shortfall of about $220,000 for the
city’s 1988-1989 budget year could mean cutting
about three programs and an across-the-board re-
duction of fi ve percent for all city services, newly
arrived City Manager Bill Bixby told council Mon-
day night. He also announced a spending and hiring
freeze on all city departments beginning yesterday.
Each purchase request will be closely monitored.

tailers caught selling marijuana to minors. The move
comes after a decoy operation conducted in December
that found several shops across the state not comply
with minimum purchasing ages. First time offenses
will now carry a 30-day license suspension or a $4,950
fi ne. Retailers caught three times within a two-year pe-
riod will have their license revoked.

An eight-year-old Spring Creek boy is dead after he
cut himself riding his bike. The cut, located on Liam

shortly after.
