<br />May 7, 1954 <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />The Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />The City Manager <br /> <br />1954-55 Budget Message <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />..'..... <br /> <br />Purpos~ <br /> <br />Our citizens want a prosperous, safe, healthy and happy community <br /> <br />in which to live and raise their children. Through the combined <br /> <br />efforts of all citizens this goal is achieved- - sometimes called a <br /> <br />high sta.ndard of living. We cannot do this for our citizens but it is <br /> <br />our responsibility to assist by every reasonable means. The oppor- <br /> <br />tunity provided and the weight of responsibility are felt by anyone <br /> <br />who must prepare a municipal budget that daily affects the lives <br /> <br />of each and every citizen- -infant or aged, wealthy or needy. It is <br /> <br />inescapable that the economics, safety, health and happiness of <br /> <br />onr citizens are touched in many ways by the plans and work of <br /> <br />the City. 'The challenge for service is tremendous. <br /> <br />Prosper~~C~~~UY <br />We need reflect but little to see the many ways our citizens' lives <br /> <br />are affected by municipal operations. The fact that City operating <br /> <br />costs have been reduced in many ways while other costs were <br /> <br />rising has been of financial assistance to our citizens. Not only <br /> <br />-----.--.- <br /> <br />-----,- .- <br />
