 Unless the city fathers lose their l heads and want to show how much money can be spent in Waterbury within given time the rate of taxa ton will be considerably less on the list of 1903 than was levied on that of the previous year when provision had to be made to meet the expenses of the smallpox epidemic the big fire, the redemption of some water bonds and an item of S25,000 for the compile ton of the masonry dam at the reser- voir Besides these one new school had to be built and money raised to com plete two other schools to say nothing of the new fire house in Brooklyn. If all this work together with the various other items could have been provided now when with these items left out for with 8 little over twelve mills on the dollar, what may peonle not expect and an increase of S3.0O00OO in the grand list? Some are putting it it at ten mills on the dollar; others say eleven and citizens who want to be generous are satisfied to see it run up to twelve mills and put the new ad- n1inistration in position to do anY- thing that has been left over as well as such work as will be ordered from now on.
