Lundstrom said Tuesday night that the $47,000 unpaid balance of the diesel cost will probably be deducted from the tentative budget for next year, and the payments split over a possible five year period. It Is probable also, according to Auditor Pedersen that serial bonds will be issued to cover the indebtedness. An additional $10,000 may be cut from the tentative financial program by elminatine a number of minor expenditures contemplated in the city light department. When this and the diesel debt have been trimmed from the budget, the city will show a surplus of approximately $31,000, Auditor Pedersen said. The light plant portion of the budgetary outlay totals at present $157,207.50. When the $57,-00- 0. is cut from this total, the department will be allotted slightly over $100,000 for operation and maintenance in 1932. The 1931 budget allotted the light department $99,698, but by the end of the year, it is estimated the plant expenditures will total nearly $124,000 owing to payments made on the new diesel apd the station addition, and other items.
