There has been paid since 1870, out of
the taxes voted upon the grand list of the
village Oncluding INTEREST," the sum of
S6,342 46, for payment of coupons on the
water debt of the village. The trustees
believe this sum should be refunded by the
water commissioners, 30 that all the debt,
with the interest, incurred for procuring q
supply of water shall be paid from the in
come received for the use of the water.
We therefore recommend such action as
will insure this result, and thereby provide
for the present current Indebtedness, re-
lieving the village of any tax upon the
grand list, except to meet the expenses of
the coming year, which we estimate as
follows:
Fire department. So, 200 90
Gas for streets. 900 90
Other expenses, including night
l,lOO 10
$4,000 90
The estimate for the fire department in
cludes the purchase of additional hose,
which will be necessary for it's efficiency.
To raise this sum will require a tax of
twenty cents on the dollar. 1t Is believed
tina, the highway tax will be ample to keep
the streets in good condition.
