At the concluding of the reading and a brief discussion of the above ordinance, City Clerk Bill Malin reported that the city's anticipated total income for 1968 was $982,740.

and South Vietnamese commands reported today that the number of American, South Vietnamese and enemy troops killed in the week before the truce dropped slightly in comparison with the week before while the number of American wounded increased. The casualty figures last week included 166 Americans killed and 1,361 wounded; 234 South Vietnamese killed, 629 wounded and 26 missing; 1,523 enemy killed, including 826 by U.S. and other allied forces and 697 by South Vietnamese forces; 20 men from olfier allied forces killed and 34 wounded. The U.S. Command also announced that U.S.

The increase included 4,000 men of the new llth Infantry Brigade which arrived last week.
