PER CAPITA DEBT sso44

In accordance with provisicn of the statutes Of the state requiring that each town in the state shall send to the tax commissioner every tour years a return of the municipal debt and ex- pendlture Controller Rowe has had prepared the information required by { the state and it will be sent to the com- missioner at once. The work of gath- ering the information has taken great deal of time inasmuch as no less than forty-seven questions were pro- pounded by the state all of which re- quircd answers in figures which meant a deal of searching and figuring. The time of year set for the submission of the returns also added to the difficul- ties of the New Haven office because it comes in the midst of the city year and not at the end Of the year as with most of the towns of the state. The information asked for covers from october l. l901 to the end September this year which isNa town year in many places but here it includes the last three months of one year and the first nine of another as the city. year coin. cidcs with the calendar year here. This made it difficult to obtain the figures and some of them do not show the same status for the city that they would If they were taken at the end of a city year when all the city ac- counts were balanced. Nevertheless they have been collected and are now | ready to be forwarded sse-
 The return starts off with state. ment of the funded and floating debt of the city which amounts in all to s4,. l25,5O0 After the sinking fund of tl6S,. olS21 has been suhtracted there re- mains net indebtedness of s3,o57. .2s6.13 The grand list Is next given and the percentage of net debt to the grand list Is shown at 3.3l per cent During the year figured on there has been an addition of s6S9.O0O of indebtedness On an estimated population of l3o,000 tho debt is s504i per capita
 The remainder of the paper Is taken up with the actual expenditures of the city during the twelve months in the various lines of work which are car ried on by the city. The complete fig. ures as prepared follow:

There is a young man in Boston
who can actually trace his family back
two generations. His one failing Is
desire to be thought descendant OF
one of the old families" and his stu
dio-he says he is an artist-contains
a number of heirloOms. One thing
in which he takes particular pride Is
a Continental uniform. complete in
every detail. with fiint-lock and pow
der horn. He was showing this to a
yound lady the other day.
MY great-grandfather wore this
suit when he gave his life to his coun-
try during the brave days OF the revo'
luton" he said.
The young lady inspected the uni
form carefully. but could find neither
bullet hole nor sabre cut. She turned
to him with a charming smile.
oh, Was the poor old gentleman
drowned" she asked.
