Oneway to meet higher costs is the curâ€" tailment of some services and even_the elimination of others. Ob viously, there #re certain services, such as the police and fire deâ€" partments, in which elimination is unthinkable and c@rtailment alâ€" most so. Actual needs point to the advisability of augmenting them. Of course there is no present thought of curtailment in either of these departments, but it would seem certain that if curtailment somewhere in the city‘s activities is not possible, additional revenue will be necessary.© Perhaps there is some solution that will requird interested in finding out.
