Hartford Conrant The decision of State

Hartford Courant The decision of State Treasurer Henry to relieve the towns of the state tax next year means great deal more than people may think at first. It takes of a burden of over $360, ,000. Turn to last years report on town indebtedness and you will find that all the towns in the state together paid $549,719 as interest on their debts. No large town debts have since been incurred, but, on the other hand, some towns have paid off indebted ness and others refunded at large saving in interest. It is safe 10 estimate next years interest paid by all the towns at not over $525, ,000, and equally safe to estimate the state tax the towns would have had to pay at $375, 900.
 Assume that those are the figures, then the towns, by relief from this tax, will save five-sevenths of their entire interest pay ment. In other words. abolishing the state tax relieves them of the burden of five. sevenths of their town debts. Careful ad- ministration of the treasury, aided by the new laws, has practically lifted from the towns of Connecticut all but two-sevenths of their debts. (This does not refer to city debts but to town debts New Haven will save about $50, GOO, and Hartford about $48, ,500 and other places in proportion. These points show the importance of the new move. It is wise, and welcome, and sure to be popular.
