There were no overpayments during 1968 because the contracts office made a split of eligibility, cutting the countys hospital payments from a previous figure of from $1.5-$million a year down to er almost cember 1967, Finance Commissioner Philip R. Biomquist predicted today. 2 He said this will enable the county to come within a fraction to a mill of balancing its record $27.6 million budget with a mill levy of 18.9 mills, .02 of a mill above last year. MEDICAL CARE The overpayment was for welfare medical care at the University of Utah Medical Center which should have been paid by federal, state or other local governmental agencies, explained County Contracts Officer Jim P. Hansen. He said, however, that an additional overpayment of $1 million made from July 1965, to August 1966, has been lost forever. Time has run out on which these overpayments were made to the University $140,000, C o mmissioners indicated last month that the county would be hard pressed to balance the $27.6 million budget. the $1 million However, reclaimed from indigent care will raise estimated revenue from $26.3 to $27.3 million. month-by-mon- 18.7-mi- - STEREO - APPLIANCES - FURNITURE - CARPET - EVERYTHING TV IN A SEA OF VALUES - IN EVERY DEPARTMENT HURRYI GET HERE IN TIME TO GET YOUR SHAREI ROLL ENDS i OR CLOSEOUTS You'll make Thieves broke into the car of Burnis Siiner, 127-lAve., Wednesday and stole a $98 car stereo.

Of the expetced reimbursements of $1 million, some been $2G0,000 has already repaid or authorized for payment by the State Welfare Department, Biomquist said.

A team in Hansens office reeheseked hospital claims and found of those paid should have been paid by the state and other agencies during the period. This will close the gap to only $300,000, equivalent to about .04 of a mill. Thus it appears commissioners may have to raise the levy from 18.9 to 19.3 mills, or a total of .06 of a mill above ll the levy of last year.
