City Department Requests Pared, Duff Reports (Continued From Page 1) The proposed budget pro vides for no increase in Duffs own salary. - "In developing this budget," Duff stated in his letter, "it has been necessary to contain most departments at their present level and to defer for future consideration many necessary expansions of de partments. "It was also necessary to postpone many worthwhile projects which would render more complete and efficient service. This curtailment has been effected with a minimum dilution of the program serv ices of the departments." Continuing Growth Duff noted the city's con tinuing population growth, which, he said, increases "service demands that tax the facilities of all departments. "The July 1, 1958 census estimates indicated a popula tion of 25,274 within the city. Undoubtedly the 26,000 popu lation mark has been passed since that time." Duff said the preliminary budget reflects "some greater emphasis on parks and recrea tion this year." Specifically, it provides salaries for the parks and recreation director, a part- time clerk, and recreation leaders. In the capital improvement category, it includes the $75, 000 from the Jackson County Housing authority for con struction of the proposed West Jackson st. . swimming pool, and $2,300 for development of a park area at that location. Responsibility of Croup ' Boyd explained to other budget, committee members that their responsibility is to run through the 78-page docu ment and mark any Item of a questionaDie nature tor dis cussion. "We try not to get picayunish," he said. 1 Our job is to establish a policy." The committee agreed to hold their first work session next Friday evening, Tbey ex pect to meet at least once a week during the coming month. Committee members include tha eight members of the city council plus eight citizens. These, besides Boyd and Mrs. Houghton, are Carl Dawson, Galen Knox, Tod Tibbutt, Aubrey Loper, Tony Manno and Tom Rickard. FRED B.
