14 Dear Don:
. 15 • . .
' 16 Since Monday nights Council Meeting (October 4,. :1976) , a question .
.17 has developed :in our minds with regardssto the procedure used in the
18 above ordinance. Following a conversation with an auditor from the
19 State Tax Commission, -we feel the above ordinance should have been
20 an appropriation instead of a transfer.
21 . . .
22 'We request that no funds be expended from:this .transfer until you
23 can obtain a ruling from the -State Tax Commission and the State Board
24 of Accounts. . . . .

26 Sincerely yours,
