Dear Sir: The Zoning Commission at its last session considered its future work in a general way and believe will need an authorization for various expenses to properly prosecute its work. The following budget, we believe should be provided for the balance of the year 1929. Expenses of City Plan Engineer Stenographic services City stationery Maps and Incidentals Drafting Work Dixon B. Penick City Map $ 80.00 125.00 15.00 50.00 20.00 150.00 Total $440.00 The only part of the work which might be cut out would be the drafting work and that might be done by the drafting department out of the regular drafting department budget.
