H. Youngs county clerk. Proposed new construction accounts for the largest share of the increases. This proposed construction includes a joint juvenile detention home and county infirmary and the addition to the hospital. The largest single item in the general fund to be increased comes under the juvenile court heading, a hike of $11,000 which it is planned will be used for providing more suitable quarters than now exist for juvenile detention. Largest decrease is for the airport fund which previously had been carried at $56,250 and in the new budget is pegged at $10,000, a drop of $46,250. Other decreases are noted in the budgeted allocation for the county recorder, statutory and general expense both in the general fund the road and bridge fund, the Class "B road fund and the exhibition and advertising fund. Overall, however, in spite of the two decreases in the general fund, that fund under the new budget enjoys an increase of $3,617.20. For 1954 the general fund operated under an allocation of $198,699.67 and under the new budget the amount has been set at $202,316.-8City-Coun- ty ANINDEPENDENT ture that was approved by the voters of Carbon county in a special bond election early in Decem- Volume 64 ber. In addition to the proposed jurm venile detention building, the new budget includes additional funds for the construction of a county infirmary in conjunction with the uvenile detention quarters.

The budget under which the city will operate during the current year is pegged at $503,565. This figure is in line with the expansion of the city and its requirements such as new water sources enlarged water distribution facilities within, the city and equipment purchases. Even though the budget is set at that figure, it is anticipated that a lower tax levy will be re quired to bring about a balance of disbursements with revenues at the end of the year. The levy is expected to be 9.5 mills for general fund purposes as compared to the , 10 mills assessed in 1954. Increased rates in some of the revenue sources such as water and power are expected to equalize the adder expenditures which will be necessitated by the ever-i- n creasing demands of the city; growth. The budget under which the city operated during the year just end' ed was $476,245. Estimated recepts in the general fund including the 1955 taxes are expected to be $125,835. In the utility fund it is expected that revenue will total $377,730 for the total $503,565. On the other side of the ledger, expenditures in the general fund are expected to amount to $249, 455 and utility fund expenditures are expected to reach $254,110.

Mr. Passey stated he made the measurement yesterday to dispel the stories going around currently to the effect that snowfall in that watershed area ranges in the three- - and four-fo- city-coun- ty after-Christm- ot bracket. Mr. Passey said the regular recording trip of December 30 found 11.1 inches of snow on the average in the Clear Creek area with a water content of 2.75. The special trip to measure the snow from the most recent fall was made yesterday, at which time it was found that total depth is only 15 inches, which indicates that only 3.9 inches fell in the snowstorm of Monday and Tuesday. This same storm left eight inches in the Price area. pmt ha P co Ki.cani1: c'b rnt ng vs Th jrtk'V evi rung at the C'r-- i n C ' in rv chib, pec ng t s n o J mY r cf the Yvjth Stive ciinirii am T New Rates Acopfed For Water end i ft Sewer Connexions I well. he r ng contact with the C-iFi ite D nailment of Health to public health nurse .1 u in tne county was also ap- (.'"-ri loi-.V.- ca i d.
