Copi 0 the budget are in the

Council office and are open to citizen
inspection Monday through Thurs
day 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Both So tic and th Mayor agree
on one point -- that drastic cuts in the
budget are neces ary, because of the

these functions at a raise in pay.
n Have the Compensation board
exami ne the alaries and "perks" for
the Mayor and City Council. Under
the proposed budget, the Mayor, who
has a full time position, would make

council members get $10,104, (at a
total ot 40,116) while the council
president gets $10,777.·
