Also present during the meeting was Councilman-elect Thayle D. Monson.
The pledge of allegiance to the flag was conducted by Councilman Swensen and the invocation
was offered by Councilman Rowberry.
The City's financial condition, as reflected in a report listing estimated and actual re-
venue and expenditures for the month of October, was reviewed by Auditor Walter Clapp, and
it was noted that both revenue and expenditures had been more than anticipated with the
resulting ending balance being approximately $5,000 less than planned. It was felt that
keeping a close control on spending by reviewing the figures each month would help to main-

Animal Control Officer has been off work with leg problems from the accident. Calculations

so that the letter can be answered.
Councilman Lee reviewed the report from the Fire Department for the month of October.

on the west side of Ammon-Lincoln Road, and the plat was presented for action by the City
