 Brooklyn. Conn, Sept 27, 1915 To the Norwich Bulletin and to the Citizens of Brooklyn.
 Gentlemen: The unsigned statement in the Norwich Bulletin of Thursday. Sept. 16thr that the town of Brook lyn had increased it's debt instead of decreasing it, is correct, but is tn- tended to misiead the people and des- troy confidence in the town officials
 The town increased its debt t1.Ize.b2, but paid for three miles or more of state road costing f12.62453 and a state tax of S1.s15-S6. making total of unusual expense of $14.53e.Se' to offset this, the town had special tax raising s6.oS5.s5 and there Is now due from the state on account of the state road, 35,724.0s. making a total income of $11,75e.93 or S2,77s.s6 less than the added expense. as the total increased debt was t2,726.52 this shows that but for the state road work the se- | lectmen would have reduced the debt | instead of its being increased. The public should remember tha. all state road work was voted to be done and most of 1t was completed be- fore the present board took office. but not being paid for the account shows | in the current year.
