PUTNAM in GOOD
FINANCIAL STATE
Tax Commissioners Report
Shows Putnam Debt and
Taxes Relatively Low
Pomfret and Thompson Nearly Free
Of Debt

Interesting figures concerning the
financial condition of the town and
city Of Putnam, and. Of Windham
county. as well as Of all the other
municipalities and counties within
the state, is contained in the quad
rennial report Of Indebtedness, re-
ceipts and expenditures Of munich
palities. as published by the state
rom figures compiled by the tax
commissioner.
The gross indebtedness Of the fif-
seen towns Of Windham county is
S1.835, 662.lS. OF this the share of
the town Of Putnam is $240.317.s4,
three towns of the county, Windham.
Killingly and Plainfield having a
larger total than Putnam. Scotland
is the only debt free town in the
county, though a few others OF the
smaller towns approach this. Pomfret
and Thompson have low figures, only
slightly over $4,000 each. The
Woodstock figure is S4S,453.
City Debt $41z,6
The net indebtedness of the CITY of
Putnam amounts 10 1871 600, which
represents the deduction of sinking
edness Of S417,60000. Rockville
and Ansonia alone among the cities
of the state have a smaller net in
debtedness, but only Rockville has
smaller population than Putnam. The
largest part of the Putnam debt. a
total Of $235,000, was incurred, ac.
eordng to the report, for water de-
partment purposes.
The cost ef conducting the govern
ment Of the city of Putnam is decid-
eddy less than that Of conducting any
other city government in the state.
according to another set of figures
contained in the report. For the
year 1927 the total of expenditures
and receipts locally was SI64, 235.14.
The government of the town of Put
nam was conducted for total of
$279. 6d701, for the year ending
August 81, 1928, though from this
should be deducted $4,000 in re-
ceipts and expenditures which repre-
sents the amount borrowed in antici-
patton OF taxes.
Tax Rate Lowest
The local grand list is si0,559.4 04
for the city, and the total indebted
ness Of the city amounts to $500 OF
the grand list. and to 1890 of the
grand LET if the water debt be ex-
cluded. The city Of Norwich has
debt which amounts to nearly 20es
Of its grand list. or 1870 nearly, with
cut the water debt. Waterbury II
the next highest IN percentage. Put
nam ranks about midway down the
list in this percentage and also in
{ the table Of per capita debt. which Is
+ S43.12 for residents of the city Of
Putnam. The highest per capita in
+ dehtedness is in Waterbury, Si70.46.
The town of Putnam's grand list
totals just under S1l.300,00O, and
the percentage o. debt to this grand
list is 2.13. The per capita debt is
S296s.
The Putnam city tax rate of eleven
mills to the dollar is lover than that
Of any city in the state, while the
town tax rate Of twelve and a half
mills compares very favorably with
other town rates. On'y half dozen
towns have lower rates. For resi-
dents of the city. who pay city as
well as town taxes, the rate is not so
unusually low, but still, below the
state average for communities.

Stand as He Is Cross Examined on Steal

Hillquit and Company had Off
cially been brought up in court as
Joseph Boruchowitz versus the $50
East 18th Street Corporation. By
denying hat they knew Boruchowitz
Hillquit and his well-coached tools
hoped that the whole case would fall
through.
The testimony of Caplowitz on
this point is particularly interesting
Here it is:
Boudin-fou say that you left
the membership of Local No.
some time in 1926?
Caplowitz-That is right.
B.-Now, in 1925 you were still
a member?
CT was.
Bid you know who was the
secretary in 1925?
CT really could not fix the
dates Of the secretaries.
B.-When the bank was organ
lied, Mr.. Caplowitz, you took
charge of it as cashier?
CT did.
Bid you have occasion, Mr..
Caplowitz, TO find out who was
signing checks for Local No. 2 in
1925 and 1925?
CT couldn't remember off
hand every officer of an organiza-
ton or a corporation that we
may have In the bank. yc
B.-You don't know that Mr..
Boruchowitz used to sign checks,
do you?
CT could not say.
bid you ever make loans
to Local No. 2 for the bank?
C.-Yes, we made one or two
loans.
Bid you know who signed
these notes for the loans when
you made those loans in 1925 or
1926?
C.--There were two signatures
required. AS to who signed them
I cannot remember exactly.
B.-Don't you know that b.
ruchowitz was one of them!

Some Memory!
What was the aim Of Caplowitz's

doesn't know that in 1925 and 1926
Boruchowitz was manager and sec.
rotary Of Local 2? Both are mem
orable years-1925, the joint actor

Y Fascist Papers SUPPORTED NoO Dunc CITY Trust Co. Thru Forged Note
100000 OF
BANKS ASSETS
RANK FORGERIES
100000 Forged Note
Just Before Crash

Pressure from organizations of
the depositors in the City Trust
Company bank, closed recently by
the banking commissioners because
of a S4,OOO,00O deficit, forced the
district attorneys office to make
public yesterday that it is investi-
eating, and promised yesterday that
it would investigate and question the
officers.
The depositors reveal that the dis
trict attorney already has evidence
that at least 81 100000 of the deficit
is based on the discount of palpably
and obviously forged securities. One
note, discounted by the bank only
two months before it collapsed, was
for 100000.
Stole Money For Fascists.
The officers of the bank, deposit
tors say, issued loans on forged Sc
curities, and discounted forged
notes in order to support with the
hundreds of thousands of dollars
thus obtained, not only private deals
but Italian language fascist news
papers in New York.
Italo Falbo, editor of II Progresso
Italo Americana, the most prominent
of these papers, admits receiving
heavy loans, on no more security
than his deposit of part of the
amount loaned in the City Trust
Company.
Forced Workers To Deposit.
The bank encouraged the deposits
of many Italian workers, their en-
ployer in many cases forced them to
deposit in this ''trust" company, ap-
parently in order to utilize their
money without their consent for fas-
cist propaganda, and to pay good
salaries to Mussolini's agents in
America.
At present the New York state
banking department is still assuring
the depositors that somebody will
buy the bank, and they will get 80
or 80 cents on the dollar for their
deposits. But it was learned yes
terday that the banking department
was counting some of these big
forged notes in the assets of the
bank in order to make out this case
for the directors of the defunct con-
Germ. The greatest leniency is being
shown the officials of the bank by
the state banking department and
the district attorneys office. Not
one of them has been arrested so
far.
