He also stated that he had observed the sprinkler system in Flynn -Shea Parkway that was watering a portion of the ditch that was already standing in water, which he indicated was a waste. Mr. liennedy. suggested '=that the staff and the Council should survey various activities that are conducted In the City to find out which are the priority items and eliminate those that are not. He expressed the opinion that in view of the high taxes high inflation etc., the City should effect savings in every area possible.
