The Clerk read the letter as submitted by the Committee consisting of City Manager Rolison, City Attorney Currie and Assessor- Auditor Brophy. In their letter they listed the following sources of funds which could be used in the proposed acquisition of the Bourquin property. 1. CAPITAL PROJECT FUND. The Capital rroject Fund has a balance of 4 73,601.3 7, and with the anticipated Capital tax addition of 1955 -56, will approximate 4120,000.00. There are presently no official encumbrances on this amount. However, it is the thought of this committee that payment of the full cost of the property in question would be suite an outlay from this fund, and, therefore, suggest a Capital Project outlay of only 420,000.00. The balance of 440.000 could be borrowed from the Water Fund and repaid in four annual installments of C10,000.00 each, this to be raised by a Capital Tax levy of approximately on cent. 2. WATER FUND. Money to be spent from the dater Fund and the property used exclusively by the Water Department.
