'I A program to pave 3.3

this summer.
However, the program depends on the size of the city's share of the .school budget in School District 57. And this won't be
decided for about another week.
Last year the school mill rate stood at 21.7 mills-and raise $-llS,'*lu!). The general mill rate was G1.3 mills.
The city's provisional budget allows for an increase of seven-iciv.iis on the saliou! miil and a ct responding decrease in liie general mill.
