During this consideration Donald J. Bushor, Management Consultant, responded to questions. His report dated July 22 indicated that last year the City spent some $83,000 for communication expenses, Of that amount $33,000 was the cost of making calls [USAGE] and $50,000 was paid for lines and hardware [EQUIPMENT]. The new system will incorporate fea- tures which will reduce the USAGE expense.
