City faces additional
$100,000 deficit
Tax cuts proposed
(Continued from Page 1)
would balance.
This fall, however, Sheehan re-
ported to council thatithe budget
did not include allocations for per-
sonnel fringe benefits, including
severance and sick pay, and that
consequently, funds earmarked for
deficit reduction had to be used
to cover those costs.
Several council members an-
grily rebuked Sheehan, charging
him with negligence and incom-
petence. In November Sheehan re-
signed his post to assume a simi-
lar job in St. Petersburg, Fla.
MURRAY BLAMED the budget
miscalculations on "estimates
which did not pan out because we
had too many unknowns at the
time." Murray did not become city
administrator until late summer,
well after the budget had been ap-
proved and put into effect.
He said yesterday that the fig-
ures used to calculate the $100,000
deficit were "only rough approx-
imations", therefore the final to-
tal could be slightly higher or low-
er.
The exact figure along with a
revised budget and recommenda-
tions for reducing expenditures will
formally be given to council later
this month for consideration, ac-
cording to Murray.
"The commitment to reduce the
debt by $300,000 will have to be
embodied in the revised budget'
figures going to council," he
added. But Murray said that such
a commitment will be difficult to
honor as a result of reduced reve-
nue.
THE $300,000 reduction is only
the first phase of a three-year pro-
gram designed to eliminate the
city's entire debt. During the re-
maining two years, the adminis-
tration hopes to slash nearly $900,-
000 from the debt. Federal reve-
nue sharing monies will provide
the primary funding source.
City officials believe that a new
revenue source could be developed
in the near future. Top considera-
tion has been given to a city in-
come tax, but the voters have ov-
erwhelmingly defeated two at-
tempts to enact such a measure.
Moreover, Murray, last month,
reported to council that no addi-
tional income sources could be
found during fiscal 1974. "Our cur-
rent budget is less than solid and
it will take substantial control to
keep expenditures balanced with
estimated revenues," the report
stated.
(Continued from Page 1)
Fortunately, our planning for the
current budget year anticipared
this slowdown."
The governor said he is a firm
believer in lowering taxes when
possible and that with the current
economic outlook, "I believe it is
necessary."
THOUSANDS OF AUTO workers
already havebeen laid off in the
state due to sales declines blamed
on the fuel crunch. Some experts
1 predict the unemployment rate in
Michigan could jump to 12 per
cent by summer.
Concerning drugs and crime,
Milliken warned "dope pushers and
rip-off artists" not only to get out
of town, as ordered by Detroit
Mayor Coleman Young in his re-
cent inaugural address, but to get
out of Michigan.
"TO ENCOURAGE them to keep
i
right on going - right out of the
state - I want Michigan in 1974
to embark on an extensive crack-
down on illegal narcotics as part
of the most comprehensive anti-
crime campaign ever waged in this
state," Milliken said.
That campaign, he said, will
start with a, budget request for $3.5y
million to finance an accellerated
State Police effort to stem drug'
use and traffic.
"The thrust of this additional
funding will be for a combined ap-
proach to reduce the importation
and distribution of illegal narcotics
to reduce the illegal diversion of
legal narcotics and to materially
increase the risk of apprehension
for those illegally selling narcotics
and drugs," Milliken said.

With a music system from Tech Hifi,
1974 can be a very good year
.
The energy crisis is going to make it difficult getting around by automobile. With
a component music system from Tech H ifi, you don't need a car to have a good time.
Or to do something relaxing. Or stimulating. And a component music system uses
less energy than the average lightbulb, so you don't have to be concerned about wast-
ing energy. 1974 can be a very good year, with a music system from Tech Hifi.

The very latest transistorized cir-
cuitry in th~e Sherwood 7100A re-
sults in an am/fm stereo receiver
that is capable of delivering out-
standing performance with a min-
imum of power consumption. Rms
power output is 44 watts. FM per-
formance is very good with high
sensitivity and selectivity. The Sher-
wood's ample control facilities allow
for the kind of versatility that com-
ponent systems are reknowned for.
TDC IVa's are some of the best med-
ium sized bookshelf speakers that
we've ever heard...and we've heard
a lot of them! For dependability,
it's hard to beat the Glenburn 2110
automatic turntable, equipped with
cue control and built-in anti-skate..
At comfortable listening levels, this
entire component music system uses
less electricity than a -good readinq
lamp. (Base, dustcover, and
cartridge included.)

-
JBL L100's (fair traded for $546)
are the same loudspeakers used by
several major recording studios to
critically monitor the fidelity of their
recordings. Their very high effic-
iency keeps power consumption to
a minimum. The Harman Kardon
630 am/fm stereo receiver (fair traded
for $360), delivers a conservatively
rated 60 watts rms with less than 0.5%
distortion. Even at maximum out-
put, this system uses only a fraction
of the electricity that a color TV
would. From its twin amplifiers, to
its excellent tuner section, to its
phenomenal -control facilities, the
Harman Kardon displays an unusual-
ly high degree of quality and perfor-
mance. The Miracord 50H 11 is
probably the finest automatic turn-
table that you can buy. A deluxe
wooden base, a dustcover, and an
ADC 100Q induced magnetic cart-
ridge are included. As long as you'll
be spending more time at home this
year, we recommend the pleasant
diversion of a component music
system from Tech Hifi. It won't
waste your electricity.
