Smithfield OkehsBudget The Smithfield City Counlast week approved tentatively a $308,368 budget for the 1974-7- 5 year. The approval followed a budget hearing at which no local citizens appeared in opposition. During the council meeting the 1973-7- 4 budget was also adjusted by cil $10,000. The $308,368 figure does not include federal Revenue , Sharing or collector road funds. Approximately Revenue Sharing funds will be allocated later. $105,435 in -- t - ACCORDING to Mayor Or al L. ballam. the budget revenue estimates are above the expense estimates and the city will continue to operate in the black. An increase for employees has been budgeted; the new truck is to be paid for from general funds instead of from revenue sharing: a part-tim- e secretary has been included and increases made for gas, electricity, and ma- terials. Otherwise, the pattern is pretty much the same, Ballam stated. A budget adjustment for fiscal 1973-7- 4 in the amount of $10,000 was made from undistributed funds to the water department. The transfer was necessary due the increase in cost of pipe .md other materials and some urgent items which were taken care of. A cut in water revenue because of the wet season during the past year also contributed to the necessity for the adjustment. : Crockett introduced Becker, the new deputy assigned to Smithfield. Current problems connected with the city dump grounds, golf course and motor bikes, the cemetery, and irrigation water were discussed. The officers will work closely with city officials and citations will be made when necessary. The council expressed approval of ordering 10 garbage collection boxes to be placed throughout the city so the dump can be phased out as soon as possible.
