He informed the Board that the County would not be getting $20,000 from the Town of Mebane for Sewage treatment this year. He stated that a meeting had been anticipated by the Town of Mebane to negotiate.

Thu Chairman asked for discussion on the proposed Manager's Budget and/or the Additions Sheet. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that most of the problem was solved if the Board added 1~ on the.Manager's recommended bud- get, if we take the $63,000. figure, there would be a $33,000. gap.

The cuts Mr. Gustaveson suggested were $25,000 from Seven-Mile Creek, then he added we are talking about only $8,000. This would make a tax rate of 71~, and all the additions on the suggestion list would be included in the budget. Discussion ensued.
