connection with its budgetary consideration~'~for~f~isc~!~y~ar
1977-78, and

for the ensuing fiscal year.

THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Board of Commissione~
of Palm Beach County, Florida and the Palm Beach County School

end of governmental economy in order to lessen, in all cases pos-
sible, the tax burden upon the citizens of this County.
