The Washington Town Council approved budgets for the town and the water works at their monthly meeting last week at the County Courthouse.

The council voted to start meeting at the Town Hall and appropriated money for chairs. They also discussed fire department finances, water sampling and testing, dogs, street plats, cable TV and street lights.

A budget of $98,450 for the town and $39,435 for the waterworks was approved unanimously. The budget is unchanged from last year, and covers fiscal year 1994 which began July 1, 1993. Treasurer Brad Fisher noted that the position for an administrative assistant was removed from the budget, so it may be necessary to hire a contract administrative person for temporary work.

Mr. Fisher distributed copies of the 1992 and 1993 calendar year budgets for the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad from Chief Roger Roach. Actual expenditures for 1992 were $87,250, about $4,700 more than estimated. The budget includes $12,000 from the town both years.
