10 Cents
Heppner Budget
Climbs But Tax
Levy Held Down
a hudeet committee Monday
approved the 10 CI budget for
th ntv or iieppner wmm an-
c!pafW toUi expenditures .f
$mXl0t , ncrae of S3-I.937.
.
50 over last year.
From the taxpayer's point of
view, the figure isn't quite as
startling as It might seem, how
ever, for anticipated receipts
from various sources also are
much higher and the budget has
been kept within the 6 percent
limitation.
Fmeeted receli'ta and cash
carryover under the new budget
have been set at $107,250. This
Is 124.650 higher than last year
and goes to offset much of the
increase In expenses.
The ereatest Jump In any de
partment of city government is
found in the fire department
budget which will total $13,850.
Last vear it was $1,250. The
reason for this big Increase, Is
because an equipment reserve
fund of $6,000 which has been
huilt ud over the past four years,
has been budgeted for expendi
ture this year for a new fire
truck. Added to this is $5,700
which will be received under
contract from the Heppner Rural
Fire District, most of which will
also be spent for the new truck.
Another sizeable Increase is
shown In the sewer extension
fund of $9,500 which was non
existent last year. This is set
p for the installation oi sewer
iui - .....v-..- .
lines to the recently annexed
Ban-aft Park Addition and the
new school which will be built
during the coming year. The cost
is offset by transfers from the
sewer fund whicn win oe re
paid by residents In the effected
areas.
Expenses In the vater depart
ment will also reflect an increase
next year, as the city has bud
geted $10,550 for completion ot
the water line extension to serve
the area along the Condon high
way and on Cemetery hill.
Minor Increases were noted in
some other departments, and the
greatest reduction came in me
police department where a $ibUO
Item In last year's budget was
eliminated. That amount was
budgeted last year for the pur
chase of a new police car.
Aside from special bond levies
hieh were voted by the people,
the total general fund tax levy
for the coming year will be $16,
375.50 which is less than $1,000
increase from last year's figure
of $15,458.
