*ir;REAS, the City of Wichita Falls operating and maintaining j
funds, namely the General Fund, the Street Fund, the Park fund, the
Library Fund, said funds being created by taxation for the operation
and maintenance of governmental departments and functions, are in-
sufficient to balance and gay the urgent and necessary operating and
maintenance expenditures, and are in fact now over expended; and,
w S, it is not possible under the Charter of the City to
create additional cash credits for the said funds by taxation during
the current fiscal period; and,
d'HEREAS, this condition has been materially caused by very
necessary and urgent increases in expenditures from the said funds
created by taxation, aid since it is deemed to the best interest of the
City of Wichita Falls to continue operating on a cash basis,
