The commissioner favored reimbursing the club next year from the 1948 budget and demanded, “What about our streets? Why not amend the budget to pave the streets? There isn’t a decent street in Key West.” Ellingson’s report on the surplus funds came in response to a question fre ~. Commissioner Hunter Harden as to whether the city could afford the $2,000 needed for the gglf greens. The city mana- Ser replied that the city’s revenue, 1947 receipts, is $11,610.67 above the original estimates and of this amount $4,192 has not been ex. pended. From the 1946 surplus, there is another $13,000, he added, which is available for transfer to ‘other funds. | L, Carbonell’s remarks about | Late Bulleting | sre’strect Situation touched oft « i ;Spirited discussion.
