SLUM From the standpoint af the City regarding losa of
ARE.9 revenue, it really-w~l} ~+e ~ suv3ng, in-es-muah ae the ravenue
CONTINUED from taxes at the present time does not oompensate the City for
the services, which inolude garbage and trash oolleation,
eleatrio, water and sewer servioe, police and fire proteotion,
and strest improvementa with maintenance. In reality it is a
subsidized area at present."
