For a number of years Hepp ner has been in an enviable po sitlon economically with tne ability to provide necessary city services within the 6, umna tlon. This year a loss in popu latlon creatine a drop of ap proximately $4,000.00 in funds to be received from Mate Agen cies, plus increasing operating costs In all departments, nas created a very different picture. It was necessary to eliminate number of Items in order to avoid asking the people for ad ditional funds. No salary in creases were allowed. This is probably the last year, with similar conditions prevail ing. that a City of Heppner budget can be worked out with out going to the people for a ote on the services they want or looking for other sources of revenue. One possibility is an increase in water and sewer rates. This method reaches the most people and there has been no water rate increase since 1959. Heppner utility rates are low compared to many localities. The City Council will spend much time throughout the com ing year studying the various recourses to follow in the prep aration of future budgets.
