But just how much the budget will amount to depends on a City Commission decision balancing the level of services desired against the cost of providing those services. That determination, officials throughout City Hall concur, is likely to result in a lengthy and heated fight between commission members. Fighting will come over how much property tax is levied to maintain current service levels in some areas and to improve them in others, officials indicated.

In his press release, Price suggested that a property tax levy of one mill would provide the revenue needed to cover the deficit expense and the loss of income. But other city officials said the figures quoted by Price would force employe cutbacks in several departments. A levy of one mill, according to a second statement released by the mayor on Tuesday, would increase the average city residents taxes by $10 but would still fall $19 short of what was paid to the county prior to incorporation. Next years anticipated tax revenue ($7.1 million) exceeds this years figure ($4 7 million) by $2 4 million. First Ad Sells !
