The adopted budget will require total levies of $78,300 from the 29 member municipalities which constitute $10,900 in special levies and a per capita levy of $1.761/2, ... this is how projects get off for the 44,339 population withiV avep J the 1,000 -square -mile authority.

He said the MVCA would do their utmost to work with the member municipalities on any approved projects. Leonard Johnson of the Ministry of .
