!$8,000.00 over last year, at which time $9,000.00:, :was allocated for the Chamber, plus $3,000.00 to : i be used to attract industry. I I

i Cmn. Neiswender informed the Council he had dis- I ; cussed this matter with Mr. Kirk. If the amount I i bf $17,000.00 is approved, it is their intention ; f to sit down and try and work out a way in which f : the Christmas decorations can be accomplished. !
! Mayor Atkinson asked Mr. Kirk if the Chamber of i i Commerce budget as presented had been approved i : by the Board of Directors of the Chamber?
