Claim That Town Tax at 12 Mills Is Too Low to Provide Sufficient Rev.
 enue.

Faced with another increase of S,33445 in the indebtedness of Kill lingly, which now has touched new high mark $208, ,521.42, some interest ed taxpayers of the town are wonder ing whether the voters will again re- sort to what has been termed ostrich tactics at the annual meeting next
 nonthi and, while hiding their heads in the sands of finance, lay tax that will be insufficient to meet the appro- cherefully and with their eyes wide open.
 Careful students of town affairs are agreed that 12 mill tax is too small to raise enough money to pay the bills of Killingly as Killingly Is being run. had experience in trying to run the town and provide for. meeting the heavy expenses-which are principally fixed charges-are quite certain that they cannot pay all the bills that are the result of what the town has voted and keep the debt from increasing. Retrenchment that will take away some of the advantages that Killingly seems to enjoy and regularly votes for is one way to bring the expense account within the revenue from a 12 mill tax. it Is pointed out, but this does not seem to meet with popular favor. For instance, there is a con- stant clamor for the permanent paving of Main street, which surely needs at tention. The school costs might be cut, but not without injuring the schools. State road work might be l stopped for several years in Killingly,
 but many object to that. And so. one | after another. are objections raised ! to plans for retrenchment, but the l clamor because the debt increases
 never ceases
 | A prominent citizen pointed out | more than two years ago that unless | Killingly ceases increasing its debt
 1t will be in the hands of the usurers | That warning seems to have little ef- l feet and many taxpayers, who would like to pay their way as they go. are
 really anxious this year that the whole
 matter of finance be gone over at the
 annual meeting next month and some l plan adopted that will surely allow , of Killingly ending the present fisca ], year without piling thousands of dol l lars more On the already too heavy . debt.
 Killing1y's interest account for tn, t year that closed July 31, was $10,652, 5 or about 20 per cent. of all the none! ] raised in Killingly by taxation. 'ye l in laying tax this very importan
 item of expense has in past year . been overlooked with the same placid

charges that was not given any. con- sideration in fixing the tax rate last year. These two items alone more than wipe out any margin that town off cials might have between the amount of taxes raised and what are usually regarded as the fixed charges of the town.
 It has been fairly well established that if killingly wants to get it's bal ances on the right side of the ledger it must do one of two things-stop all improvement work and give up some of its advantages that cost money. or increase its tax rate and raise enough money to pay it's bills on the present basis of running the town. Many tax payers have decided that one course or tho other must be followed

Where is my wife of yester-year!
 I miss her everywhere With double chin and baggy throets
 And silver in her hair. I loved her for her solid walk
 I loved her for her size, 1 loved her for the wrinkles .u
 That had grown about her eyes. :. watched those wrinkles coming,
 And I miss those wrinkles now, For they came from mutual trouble
 And I matched them on my brow. But the Beauty Doctor got her,
 And he fixed her double chin, And he paraffined her shoulders,
 And he pulled her waistline in, And her figure of a matron,
 Which I'd grown to know so well, Is as slender as a willow
 And as swift as a gazelle. DO hunt that Beauty Doctor,
 With summons in my hstf Do I swear eternal vengeance For the age-marks that I've missed1 Do l rage for charms lymphattc? No! I sound a minor note. For she's got herself up shipshapes To be ready for the vote. Henry Stanley Hasktns, In the New York Times,
