Miss Kathryn Klee, assistant secretary of the Youngstown Civil Service Commission and an AFL leader here, collapsed and died yester A STATEMENT TO THE CITIZENS Of Lancaster On The Condition Of Lancaster City Finances, Currently And For 1955 Your present City Council took office January 1954. Our firit problem 'was to consider end epprove (within three days), a complete Budget appropriation for 1954. Budget requests by ell city department heads totalled approximately $3,000,000.00.

The utility departments, Gas, Water, Sewage Disposal and Sanitation, are self-sustaining end will be kept in that condition. It should be mentioned that due to the increase in the cost of purchased natural gas it may be necessary to make some increases in our local rates in the rtear future to avoid deficits in the Natural Gas Fund. The General Fund receives most of its funds from real estate taxes, personal property taxes, sales tax, Municipal Court receipts, parking meters and traffic tickets. The General Fund pays for all city administrative offices, street lighting, Police Department, Fire De partment, Health Department, city bulding expenses, Park Department, debt obligations within the ten mill limitation, and a few other small expenses. The General Fund Budget requests for 1954 were in excess of the estimated receipts.

Council made dractic reductions in these requests to the extent of $66,391.69. After these reductions were made an estimated "surplus" of only $1.86 remained if all receipts came up to expectations. This was pom'ble because receipts from the Income Tax carried over into 1954, estimated at $20,000.00. In 1953 The General Fund Status Was As Follows: Payments: General Fund Accounts. $358,808.11 Cemetery Fund Hospital Fund Deficit 15,239.59 Swimming Pool Improvement 13,975.00 Income Tax Department.

These amounts would otherwise be available for operating purposes. Other bond issues mentioned above do not affect the General Fund unless special assessment bonds ere defaulted. Our present Fire and Police Departments are not large enough to comply with recognized standard re quirements of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and the National Safety Council.

Funds are available from Fire Department bond issue for the purchase of additional fire protection equipment to meet the approval of the Ohio Inspection Bureau and the National Board of Fire Under writers. This expenditure should not be made until the new West Side fire station can be properly manned. We believe the following items of additional estimeted expense, over those budgeted for 1954, ere required-for the best 'interests of the City of Lancaster in 1955: National Standard Present Proposed Cost of Requirements Complement Increase Increase 1.

Jack Kochman's automobile thrill show has been using Dodge cars exclusively since 1943. You'll know why when you $115,700.00 Additional income for the General Fund will be required to carry out the ebova suggestions. The in creased expenditures for the Fire Department should result in lower insurance rates. The Police Depart ment would be expected to enforce our laws and ordinances with better efficency. All of the ebovo items have merit and would be a beginning of an effort to give to Lancaster the type and kind of service that our citizens should have.

It is estimated that the receipts available for the General Fund will be $367,000.00 in 1955, which should maintain public services at the present level. If any of the above suggestions are put into effect, edditional revenue wilt be required. City Council and City administrative officials will continue to make every effort to economize without impairing public services. see the terrific punishment they take.
