"We had three Cannons aboard, but no one paid any attention to them," the speaker commented. How's your home lighting project coming along?

Seen Again for City in 1956 budget of $183,070 for Midvale city for 1956 was set up at the meeting of the city council Wednesday evening. The budget is tentative in its present form, but has been agreed upon by the council as sound, and will be up for final adoption at a special meeting on Saturday, Dec, 31, at 1 p.m. at the city hall, when citizens may appear to protest the budget at a public hearing.

Publication of the summary of the tentative budget is made this week on another page of the SenA tinel. Tentative approval of the budget was reached after a discussion of all points of revenue and expenditure by council members, Mayor Henry Beckstead, and Ed J. city auditor. Mr Rcimann pointed out that in total, the city is well within its 1955 budget on the basis of 11 months' operation, although some departments have exceeded their estimates. Total expenditures are estimated about $13,000 higher than for 1955, but several sources of revenue are also expected to increase proportionately, so that no increase in the mill levy will be necessary.
