Mr. Brunton said that when he meets with the Employee Committee, he will recommend that there is an adjustment in the salaries. Mr. Alvin Kruchten asked if the Council would be adopting these procedures in the next meeting He brought up the matter of the tax decrease for the low income people, stating that they would have to be informed. Mayor Carson said that changes can be made next week. Mr. Kruchten said that a tax rebate would have to be submitted to the Treasury Department.
