Mr. Endress introduced Resolution No. 254 entitled: ~tA Resolution Authorizing a 3.25 mill levy for two years for payment of current expenses for the tax duplicate years 1954 and 1955", which resolution was read to Council. Mr. ~Idh~.ting suggested that the Village of Dayfield did not need the money which would be raised by a 3.25 mill. levy, and that the increased burden of taxation arising from the special assessments from water main improvements should be alleviated as much as possible'by reducing the levy .of the Village of Mayfield. Therefore Mr. Whiting suggested reducing the levy to no more than 3 ?Hills for the ensuing two year period. He also stated that general fund money should not be spent to improve dedicated public highways within the Village of Mayfield, for this money is derived from taxes levied on all the people tivithin the Village of D~ayfield.

Mayor Hodgson suggested that merely continuing the temporary repairs of the dedicated public highways within the Village of Mayfield would result in no permanent solution to the road problem. He also stated that since the road funds were definitely insufficient to effectuate any sort of permanent road program, and since any money .used to. effectuate temporary repairs was at most only a holding action, the Village of Mayfield would benefit. by permanently improving the dedicated public highways within the Village of Mayfieldo Mr. Endres Mated that the budget was very closely drawn. He stated that the estimates for the permanent improvement of the dedicated public highways within the Village of ll~yfield which had been prepared by the Village En„~3.neer totaled X23,245.00 over a. two year period, and that it was proposed in the proposed budget for 1955 which had been .presented that the Village of Mayfield assume 25~ of the costs of such improvements. Mr. Endres also staged that the estimates of the Village ~hgineer were admittedly high estimates and in all probability could be substantially reduced. 2•
