When we come to examine tho auditors

compare It with thepust, the result is some.
what startling, and ought TO start our fel-
low citizens TO do something. We accept
the explanation Of the sclcctmcn and audi
tors that items Of interest are included,
which have not been heretofore. and that
actually the Indebtedness has been reduced
an insignificant triflc. 1t Is not true, as Is
enormously believed, that this Indebtedness
is due entirely to the rebellion and the rails
Ing of our quota for the army. A glance
at the figures show this. The rebellion
closed in 1865, and, in March of that year,
the auditors reported the Indebtedness of
the town Of Rutland in round numbers,
to he one hundred and J5rty.Jour thousand
dollars. In 1866, it was $110,0 in 1867,
$4,000 1868, Sl0s,000; 1860, 100000
aud in 1870, $4,000, So that in five years
the indebtedness was reduced .t0rty-nino
thousand dolldrs. If the same policy had
continued We should be nearly free from
debt rs an item Of nearly twenty thousand
dollars is perpetual loan upon which the
town never will be called TO pay anything
but the interest we refer, OF course, to
the ''surplus revenue fund.-" the interest of
which is annually paid for the support of
schools. In 1871, however, the change
commenced. That year the debt jumped
from nirety-iiye thousand to one hundred
and seven thousand dollars In 1872, it
was two thousand dollars more In 1873,
ten thousand dollars further increase and
now ii stands at Sl2G, 536.33 This indcbt-
edness, divided pro rata, would amount to
about 4 dollar and twenty-scvcn cents for
every man, woman and child in the town,
or some ten dollars 10 every legal voter To
pay i, would require a tax Of over three
hundred per cent. on the grand list, or
three cents of the value of all the real and
personal estate in the town, L. this a

CURRENT EXPENSES FOw tS.i-5.

In order TO pay the current expenses of
there must be raised by taxation. or other
wise, the sum of fifty-cight thousand four
hundred and nincty-siN dollars and tour
cents (S5S, 406. Of This sum must nc raised
in some way, and there is no getting around
the fact. If it is raised by taxatio on. it will
decrease our Indebtedness some fifty thous-
and dollars that is from one hundred and
twenty-siX thousand dollars to scventy-six
thousand dollars. 1t will require tax Of
one hundred and eighteen cents on the
grand list; tifty-cight cents for every man,
woman and child in the town The esti-
mated expenses for the coming year are
some eleven thousand dollars, not includ-
ing interest on the funded debt. We think
this to be very large and liberal estimate,
and they certainly cannot exceed that sum.
To meet these expenses alone would re-
quire Il tax Of about twenty-seyen or
twenty-eight cents. To this, as forming q
part of the current expenses, must be adj
ded the interest on the funded and the sur
plus revenue amounting to nearly, if not
quite, the same sum. Taking these seve-
| raj items togther, we can run another year,
in the same condition we are now in by
raising tax of fifty cents on the dollar.
But the remaining forty thousand dollars,
more or less, must he paid in some way. 1t
must be paid by taxation or by going into
| the market as a borrower, or in both ways.
In our judgment, ii would be inexpedent
to attempt to raise the whole either by
taxation or by loan. If taxes are voted
only sufficient to pay current expen-
SEES, we cannot borrow money al
par. Our londs or notes would be
at discount. We regret to say that our
finances have been in such a condition fol
the past few years, that we could not eX,
pect our evidences of Indebtedness to be
readily taken, until we show some inclina
ton to pay. Renewals, or change Of
notes, are not payments. Is it not the par
of wisdom to vote tax sufficient to pay
our current expenses, the entire amount o.
our floating debt, and part of our funded
debt? A tax of one hundred cents vii
do this. will sensiby reduce our indebted
ness, and enable us to borrow at par TN
remainder Of the money which must b
paid this year; Our whole debt must b.
paid. in cash, At some time We canno
always go on credit. The time neye
comes when il is easy to pay taxes. Thi
cternally putting off the matter will no
help it, If we could make up our mind
to pay tax of one hundred cents on lh
dollar, annually for the next three years
our debt would he wiped OUT, and the da
: of small taxes would come. Instead q
