In return, the Park De- partment cooperated TAth the Street Department in cl taring road right-of- ways and street intersections of shrubs, trees and weeds. We need additional monies in account 1261, because of costs incurred mostly in the Unden Park :project. Costs such as appraisal fees, attorney fees for conderuiati.on suits, demolition costs, abstracts and title searches. These costs are fifty per cent refundable through H.U.D. An application for a partial payment was sent to H.U.D. three months ago but there is no in- dication from H.U.D. when the partial pa.pdent check will be sent. [Then the check is received, it will be deposited in the General Park Fund. We are transferring $200.00 from account X322, 011; $200.00 from account #323, Tires & Tubes; and $19500.00 from account #331, Household, Laundry & Cleaning to Account 1372, Zoo Feed. The increased cost of food, especially meat and the underbudgeti.ng in the zoo feed account, has caused a shortage in the Zoo feed account.
