JILL DISCUSSES VARIOUS PHASES
 OF CITY'S DEBT

Fire Department bonds, maturing S2,000 each year, 1920 to 19S6, both inclusive, Nos. 45 to 60, inclusive, to- tai, S16,O00.
 Betterment bonds, maturing s2,0OO each year, 1929 to 1883, both inc1u- sive; s2,00O in 1945; Nos. AT to 56, both inclusive. 7s and so. total, s12,- 900; total, S200,000.
 delivered to the Sinking Fund com missioners eight notes of $25,OO0 each, bearing interest at 1-2 per cent. These notes were dated July 1, 1919, four maturing July 1, 1920, and four July 1, 1921 The Auditor stated that the notes were sold at par to the First National Bank of Bridgeport
 Refunding Bonds 192O-1921- $1,125.0O0.
 This issue of bonds was authorized by act of the Legislature on April 10, 1919, and the issues were as follows:
 During fiscal year ending March ending March 31, 1921, $6S2,000; total, $1,250,0OO; less: repaid during fiscal year 1921, $125,OOO; balance, S1,125. 900.
 frankly made for the purpose of re- ducing taxation during the fiscal years, Of 1920 and 1921. The nec- essity for this issue is thus stated by Mayor Wilson in his annual message to the Common Council dated June 2, 1919:
 Owing to the industrial inactivity of the reconstruction period through which we are passing, the Financial Advisory Board which was created by an Act of the General Assem- bly, of 1919, advised, as necessary, the issuance of Refunding Bonds in the sum of s1,250,0O0 for the purpose of paying off bonds maturing this and also, next year. This will not add to nor decrease our net debt. If this action had not been taken, in order to retire bonds falling due this year, it would have been necessary to levy an extra tax of two and one half mills on the current tax list, and at least as much next year. These refunding bonds will be paid off during the life of the improve ments which we are now enjoying within the next ten years at the rate of S125,0oO per year. This is a, much easier way, under existing con ditions, for taking care of this in debtedness, and it is not the first time that it has been employed in our City's history
 There is not much question but that the postponing, by refunding, of the payment of a debt is a much easier way to take care of it than to pay it. The necessity for this step at this time is questionable. The tax rate for the fiscal year 1920 was 21.9 mills; if this had been increased

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"SINCERE."

a Il FIRST glance the English
"A word sincere would APP
pear to have little connection
with "waX"-but. by reason Of
a custom prevalent among
Roman builders, that is precise
ly where it came from,
In ancient Rome workmen fire.
quently took short cuts and
skimped their labors, it being a
common practice for marble
workers to apply piece of wax
to a Clipped part Of the stone
i'll order to conceal the defect
made by too haSty or too care
less stroke. When the sun
melted the wax, the defect in
the statue or column or pedestal
would be at once apparent.
Meanwhile. however. the laborer
had been paid and the purchaser
would find himself with dam
aged article on his hands.
In time, the words "Sine
cera" (without wax) began TO
appear in building agreements,
thus STIMULATING that the work
would be carried out by skilled
workmen and completed without
the use of camouhage. Gradu-
ally the term book on a broader
meaning and was applied to per-
sons who were believed to be
free from defects, who were
genuine and who might be
safely trusted. In English,
therefore, all that is expressed
in the one word sincere"
