The total expenditure next ■year is estimated to be • $683,300. In the year just ; ending the total was $678,700. ,‘ r In a report on the budget yesterday, the United Coun- . oil’s regional planning com- ■ mitfee was told that it. is 1 expected the regional plan*ning. vote will be underspent
by $94,000. Most of this ($54,000) came from savings in salaries caused by the wage freeze, delays' in filling certain vacancies, and a delayed retirement which meant that a gratuity was deferred.
