A If the current trend continues the Town of Newcastle should end the year with a dollar surplus, said municipal treasurer Kathryn Campbell Monday. She told members of council's general committee that the budget is performing very well and the overall situation looks favorable. In spite of the fact a major portion of public works projects remain for completion before year end, the treasurer says the budget appears to be on target. "At the present time we are 37 per cent below budget," Mrs. Campbell told the Statesman. The treasurer said that all town departments have exercised extreme vigilance in terms of budget allocations which she claims is one of the main factors responsible for the present cash position. Mrs. Campbell praised the town's new computer system saying it too has been a factor in achieving the optimistic financial status Newcastle currently enjoys. A surplus of $200,000 was recorded at the close of 1981 and the treasurer believes the town's financial direction appears similar this year. M \ ! ,/ - ' vv ? tV,.
