The author of the text received information about the population estimates for the city of Cleveland, showing a decrease from 5021 to 3001 between July 1, 1975, and July 1, 1976. The author does not believe this is possible and argues that there should be an increase in population based on building permits for new residential homes. The author requests more time to research and prove their point, as it may affect their revenue sharing check. The text also includes additional information about the Department of the Treasury and estimated allocation for the city.
