Brattleboro village is free from debt
This fact was brought out at meet
ing of the village commissioners last
night
This is the first time the village has
been out of debt in at least 40 years,
and the nearest approach to it was in
1889, when the debt was 81 1,20O.
A year ago the liabilities Of the viii
lage were $1,000. They consisted of
loan of June II, 1915, amounting to
$4,000. and loan of Aug. 13, 1915,
amounting to $500.
The payment of the liabilities the past
year was made in spite of unusual ex-
penses, which included, among other
things, a complete overhauling of the
fire alarm system, which was in poor
working order
At the meeting last night il was
shown that the balance on hand and the
amount which is likely to come in before
the close of the fiscal year, May j, prob
ably would meet all expenses between
now and that time.
1t is presumed that the village will
be able TO get along with a somewhat
smaller tax rate the coming year, but
garbage disposal is likely to come up at
the annual meeting the first Tuesday in
May, and If some definite plan is
| adopted it will cost money. Even with
| that it is probable that smaller rate
| than was voted last year would suffice.
! There ia some agitation about adopt
! ing curfew ordinance for the prOtec-
! tion of the younger people, and this mat
ter is likely to come up at the village
meeting
