SC3000 - Police Funding ?

Note this is a question about Sim City 3000 !!

SC3000 has a city called Metropolis.

It has over 2,000,000 population and 56 Police Stations funded at $60 per
month each.

My city is just over 400,000 and I cannot set police funding over $36 per
month.
This is not a problem at this time BUT sure will be when my population gets
higher.

Does anyone know:
a) If this limit will increase as the population grows?
b) Is there a cheat code that will allow it to be increased?
c) If there is any other solution to this problem?

I was planning on about 64 police stations (8 * 8 grid). This spacing is
working fine so far, but most tiles are still low density. If nothing else,
I'll use this spacing and increase funding to $36 as required and after that
I'll have to try moving all the police stations so I have a 10 * 10 grid.
This idea is based on the math: 56 * 60 = 3360 (for 2,060,000) so 100 * 36 =
3600 (for 2,200,000).

I haven't used any cheat codes building this city, but would consider it to
get around the funding limit and avoid moving police station.

All three versions (easy, medium and hard) have this limit.

I have a feeling that someone altered a data file for Metropolis that allows
$60 per month funding.
I tried reducing the funding to $36 and in three months the crime rate went
from 0 to 17 and population dropped to 1,900,000.
If so - THAT'S REALLY CHEATING.

I just checked with a city I have named Elmwood. Population is
almost 2 mil and 1.8mil Simoleans in the bank. 36 police stations
funded at $32/month. Max funding is $36/month. Crime is managable,
there are a few pockets of crime but nothing unmanagable. Looks like
someone cheated in Metropolis.
