thing1909.37 you1909.53 have1909.69 to1909.77 remember1909.85 about1910.25 other1910.57 revenue1910.81 sources1911.29 is1911.77 that1911.93 when1912.17 you1912.41 pull1912.65 money1912.89 out1913.45 of1913.61 free1914.57 cash1914.81 or1915.13 stabilization1915.53 or1916.57 some1916.81 of1917.05 these1917.13 special1917.37 funds1917.69 and1918.01 move1918.17 them1918.41 back1918.57 into1918.81 the1919.05 budget,1919.13 they1919.85 show1920.09 up1920.25 as1920.41 other1920.57 revenue.1920.81 Now1921.65 it's1921.73 not1922.05 like1922.29 we1922.53 generated1922.86 that1923.41 revenue1923.65 this1924.13 week.1924.29 Like,1924.62 we1924.77 went1924.93 out1925.1 and1925.34 got1925.49 that1925.73 revenue1925.89 in1926.29 some1926.45 sort1926.69 of1926.77 way,1926.86 but1927.01 it1927.17

be1965.88 higher1965.96 than1966.28 the1966.44 6,600,0001966.6 on1967.48 the1967.56 fiscal1967.72 year1967.96 251968.2 budget.1968.52 So1968.84 I1968.92 just1969 wanna1969.16 point1969.4 out1969.64
