Inflation to hurt city budge\ United Press International WASHINGTON — Rising infla tion and reduced federal subsidies will hit America’s cities hard throughout the 1980s, and already there are some disturbing trends. A survey of more than 300 towns with populations over 10,000 shows expenses are rising faster than re venues, a study prepared for Con gress’ Joint Economic Committee found. An increasing number of cities are expected to show budget deficits this year, the report said. The study also showed that cities are relying less on income from prop erty taxes and more heavily on user fees or sales taxes, said Rep. William Moorhead, D-Pa., chairman of the subcommittee that commissioned the study. Moorhead said the increase of user charges and sales taxes — to balance the reduction of property taxes in the wake of Proposition 13 and similar legislation — “places the burden of tax relief on low-income city resi dents.” City services that previously were free to the public, and now carry an admittance fee or user charge, affect poor residents more than higher- income people, he said ■ User fees and sales taxesi tuate with a city’s economiti more than property tax revei: declining during downswing city needs money most, 1 Another trend noted istki governments are deferring and maintenance on roads buildings — perhaps threatening the safety of llni tures and weakening operations. Tax returns made public FREE FREE FREE United Press International WASHINGTON — Sen. Edward Kennedy and his wife owed $166,151 in federal taxes last year on a total income of about a half million dollars and overpaid the government by $40,000, their 1979 tax return shows. The joint return, released by Ken nedy’s campaign headquarters, showed the Massachusetts Demo crat had a higher income than Presi dent Carter and paid more in taxes last year. Carter last Tuesday made public his return — showing a total income of $195,527 and claiming a refund of $16,703. A breakdown of his finan cial assets and liabilities showed his net worth plunged below the $1 mil lion mark in 1979.

Fast, Fast Results The fast pitch tournament was a hit with stiff competition and ex citing action. The proof was in the pitching for the winning teams. The excellent pitching created some close scores and frustrated many batters. The real action in the women’s bracket was between the Ding Bats and Half Fast. Half Fast came from behind to tie the game in the third inning, 2-2. They went on to win by scoring another run in the 6th inning. The final score was Half Fast 3 and the Ding Bats 2.

The Ding Bats were the 1979 fast pitch wo men’s champs while Half Fast placed 2nd in the 1980 Penberthy slow pitch tournament. The Hustlers and Rousters glided from the semi-finals to a tough championship game. Here it was a battle of the pitchers, Calvin Lawson for the Hustlers and Milton Radke for the Rous ters. Radke sat out the semi-final game which may have given him an edge over Lawson who had pitched all day. In the end it was a close game with the Hustlers over the Rousters, 2-0.
