The lower amounts of revenues available to the city this year resulted in severe cuts in budget requests from several departments. (Sty Manager Jerry Syme said that the Streets Department had reques-mos- t severely hit by the budget tightening. The department had requested $120,900 but was allowed only $68,465. Ibis cut means that the regular street repair program has had to be deleted this year. Syme said the city will be able to work on filling chuck holes but there will be no chipping and resurfacing of streets under the regular maintenance program in fiscal 1978. Syme said that the city has applied for a federal Public Works grant to help with the street maintenance program but if they are not successful in obtaining federal money, street repairs will be minimaL" Another reason for the departmental budget cuts is that a major portion of the city's revenues must go to pay off bond issues this year.
