Receipts ‘etor with good excess for the Sewer Revenue Fund were fen percent higher than the budget estimate. Total revenue receipts from all sources and for all funds show that 195] revenue was 14 percent in excess of 1950, and 38 percent in excess of 1949, M-anwhile the actual appro- priation expenditures in 1951 rose 27 percent compared with 1950 and 26 percent compated with disbursements in 1949, } Of this 27 percent increase however, capital improvements : the city and payments to Mon- oe General hospital accounted for arose "20" Percent.” “This means that there was really on- ly a seven percent increase in operating costs. Last year the city paid for the grandstand at Wickers’ Field; resurfaced many streets. built and resurfaced tennis courts; bought a new fire truck, two new police patrol cars, a dragline, compressor, and four hew Public Service department trucks. This represents capital outlays equi- valent to 17 percent of the ex- penditures of the year. Payments to Monroe General Hospital ac- counted for an additional 2.49 percent of the total spent, Rob- erts said. The seven percent increase in operating costs is “comparative- ly low when you consider the rise of the cost of living else- where,” Roberts stated Actually the per capita cost of Government to Key Westers is only $33.42 in tax money each year, Roberts’ tables sho He bases this pereapita figure on the population of 26,433, latest cen- sus: figure: | In absolute figures the general | yevenue fund income _ totaling | $678,652 {including bank loans | of $42,620) was nine percent in| excess of General Fund expendi- which totaled $620,849 dur- Revenue collected for the Sewer Revenuc Fund ($15,809) wi 27 percent in excess of ex- penditures.
