In what might be called reassurino
contrast to the annual report of town
finances, that of the village for the
year ending May l shows a reduction
of $4,000 III liabilities. This, following
q $1,000 reduction for the year pre-
vious, shows that the village fathers
have faith i'll the pay-as-you-go policy
as opposed to the pass-the buck
method. The recommendation Of the
same tax as last year indicates that
the commissioners plan for a thrifty
administration during the coming
twelve months. for thrift has to be ap-
piled in these days Of mounting prices
to prevent appreciable increases ii
public as well as private expenditures
A comparison of the summarized ex
penses for the year just closed Will
those Of the previous year reveal com
fparatively few big increases ii de
partmental costs. The largest single
item, that for fire department main
tenance, was less this year than las
by nearly $500, which shows the at
vantage of having a purchasing agent
Incidentally this might be used as a.
