Councilman Carballo discussed the tares and the budget, money in the General Fund and
the money for tho cigarette tax. He suggested knocking out the garbage service foe
and using the excess money we are going to have for the operation of that department.
Mr. Fritz, re: the Cigarette Law and the $16;,000,stated that we must report by October 1st.
as to how this money will be spent. He believed reducing to 14 mills sufficient and
that the money be used for the curtailment or abolishment of the sanitation, tax.
Following further discussion in which Councilmen Carballo urged staying on the 14 mills
but spread the money around, Councilman Gresham asked to be excused at 10:26.
This left the meeting without a< quorum, and following informal discussion, the remaining
Councilmen adjourned the meeting to 8 :00 P.M. Tuesday, August 22nd.
