voted t~ request the amoun~ of $750,O0 for next year's appropriation ~kich
amount represents an increase of $250.00 over the appropriation for 1953.
The reason for the .proposed increase is that there is a possib~ty~ because
ef considerable discussion and agitation~ for re-zoning parts of the T~en
for additional residential~ and er Industrial, and er Business usee
The Board feels that it is better t~ have ~ available and not use it
