TOWN DEBT 10 $222,7o4.
The Greatest Indebtedness That Kill insly Ever shouIdsrsd-Due to High Cost of Things.

The debt of the town of Kiilingly at the end of the fiscal year. July 31,
 1917, was given out Wednesday as $222, ,704.4S, the greatest indebtedness that Killingly has recorded and an in- crease in debt for the year of $9, 037 .95 Higher costs for practically every
 thing that goes into the naintafnence of the departments of the town is given as | reason for this increase in indebtedness; snaIe Last year the towns the three years prdceding 1916. the in crease in the town \debt was. in round figures. just over $27.0oo. making an increase of sss.ooo and over during the
 As viewed by many, the financial condition of the town is. such as to demand the raising of more revenue which means. of course. increasing taxation. Killingly property owners already are paying IA mills to the town and in Danielson thereis a borough tax that brings property owners assess ments within the borough to over 20 mills
 Tn the past 1e mill tax has been urged upon the town, but the, voters have meter elected to adopt it. The fact that the town debt is steadily mounting will call, however. for very careful consideration of the revenue question at the annual town meeting on the first Monday in October and the taking of some action to hold down the debt. A heavy percentage of the towns revenue is now required to meet the interest charges on the debt. though this fact gets little consider ation from many citizens, who non- chanant1y proclaim that IA mills raises money enough to maintain the town without increasing the indebted ness.
 Some increase in revenue from tax es may be. looked for under the grand list next to be completed on account of the great amount of building activi- ty that has taken place in Killinglv during the past twelve months, but 1t is computed that this additional rev- enue will not be sufficient to offset such increases in debt as the one faced this year. not to mention any pros- pect of decreasing the towns debt
