*EXclusive of special appropTiation
 The estimated income. exclusive of cash in bank on April 1, 1915, totals $126,490. The large items of income are: State of Connecticut, tax on bank and insurance stock, $11,0OO; state of Connecticut, school enumera- tion, $27,000; consolidated school dis trict (tuition), $11,000; liquor li- censes, s26,500; office fees from town clerk, s3,000: police court, $6.000; street sprinkling assessments, $500; personal tax, $1S,500.
 Probable Shrinkage.
 If the commissioners of finance and taxation comply with the wishes of Mayor Quiglcy they will find it neces- sary to work overtime to keep the tax rate at 16 E mills. and large sums will be Topped off the estimates. It is probable that the heaviest shrink age will be found in the board of pub- lie works estimates and it is not be- GeVed that the commissioners them selves expect to be granted anywhere near the amount asked for. The water department estimate is only T few thousand dollars more than the appropriation for the present fiscal year. According to the board of pub lie safety more men are needed in the fire and police departments and more up-to- date apparatus for the fire fighters. The health department has it's appropriation for the present year so we'll that it may re- ceive all that is asked for A. Buol. of the New Britain Tuberculosis Re- lief society, will probably appear be- fore the board to ask that the health department be given an appropriation with which to carry on a battle with the white plague It is not cer- tain that the request of s1,00O for social center, made by the public committee, will be appro- Dria ted.
