OF that sum the total regular appropri-

falls due, is met by a sinking fund which
to-day is SIS6.OOO. Next year there will
be a $4,000 bond issue. but the sinking
fund will be considerably more than $780,
COO after that amount is paid.
Although the budget has grown from
year To year TO meet the ever increasing
demands of the greater city, experts on
good government declare that Stamford
has been and is economically managed.
Some Of the oldest citizens OF the place

aged, and that is why its growth decade
ago was small
