term loans to meet expenses.
Invests Surplus
The city invested $500, 900 Of
the June 80 surplus in Interest,"
bearing time deposits.
This means the city is going
to get a little interest instead Of
paying it out" the city manager
said.
Alexandria has borrowed ST.
APO, 900 on short-term loans DUR
ing the past decade, Mr.. Heat
wole said. The yearly amounts
ranged from 100000 to SIS
million.
He said no study has ben made
of how much interest these loans
cost the city, but in fiscal 1885
the total was about $4,000.
Reason for Loans
Mr.. Heatwole said the conflict
between the fiscal year used for
budgeting and a calendar year
tax collecting system was re-
sponsible for borrowing in the
past.
He said that despite the con-
lf1ict, the city was able to remain
within current revenue in fiscal
1856 because of better revenue
estimates and a strict adherence
to a quarterly allotment system
which restricted expenditures by
departments to current revenues
each quarter.
