PRAYER OF THE LAMBS

Good Lord; Who oftentimes art
blamed
For floods and billiards.,
And winds and holocausts untamed
By some not wizards,
And Who art blamed for drouths
that come,
And earthquakes bringing death to
some,
And accidents staged by the dumb,
And things unnamed;
We ask of Thee, this coming year
To guard the bitches
For us, whose faith is still sincere
In chance and witches,
For there be times we show some
sense,
Though, naturally, we are dense
And rush the wire or jump the fence
For sudden riches.
But, if 'tis best to let us roam,
Another season,
Like sheep that get too far from
home
Sans sense or reason,
And gamble on the Board of Trade
Like lambkins gambol unafraid;
Give us more sense than we display
ed
At our last fleecin'.

We have examined the books of account of the
Board of Light and Water Commissioners together with
their vouchers cancelled checks and record of accounts
receivable and have checked their receipts and deposits
with the bank record.
We present herewith six statements showing the
financial operations and condition of the three funds of
the Commission. the general fund, sinking fund.-
and replacement fund-for the fiscal year 1929.
Statement Of Operating Profit
Statement No. shows that the operating profit
of the light and water plant, nearly as it be
computed under the present accounting SYSTEM for the
year 1929, was $2719380, compared with $2466591
for the year 1925 an increase of $2,527.89.
Summary Of Receipts, Payments, and Cash
Balances by Funds
Statement No. shows summary of the opera
ons of the three funds separately and also in the
gregate. This statement shows in summary from the
receipts payments, and cash balances This consOli
dated statement shows that during the year 1929 the
Light and Water Commissions cash hand increased
from $153565O to $22,817.62.
Classification of General Fund Receipts and Payments
Statements Nos. 8 and 4 show in detail the Vari-
and amounts of the receipts of the general
fund and the objects and amounts of the payments
Condition of Special Funds
Statement No. shows the operation and condi-
tion of the replacement fund and the sinking fund.
Milford chronicle., 1930-04-11
Snmmary OF Acconnts ReceiYabIe


Statement No shows the total of the accounIe
receivable for light and water, and also the number u
accounts in arrears, and the number of months una
these in arrears. The total of the uso
accounts receivable at the end of 1929 is $67484 ies
than the figure for the beginning of the year, but S
improvement is only in the recent accounts Ac
counts than six months old $S92.68 greaIeI
than they year ago, while accounts year u
more old are $19414 greater than year ago. -
The total of water accounts receivable is only
$26.44 less than year ago. Accounts six months u
old, however, have increased $3167, while ac-
counts year old have increased $5277. -
We believe that this is condition which shouIu
have the studiOus attention of the Light and Water
Commission.
New Accounting System and Appraisal of Plant
We believe that the Light and Water Commission
is to be commended for it's efforts to increase the ell
cheney with which the light and water plant is oper
ated and that the installation of the accOuntlns
system and the appraisal of the plant under way
will add to the value of future financial reports, ana
will enable the Light and Water Commission to follow
and supervise the financial administration of the plant
much effectively

WHAT'S HOOVER DONE9

President Hoover has been in Of
flee for more than a year and Con-
gress has been in session most of
the time since his Inauguration.
Answering the question of what's
Hoover dOne," John @. Tilson, Re-
publican leader in the House of Rep
resentatives, says in a statement
from the Republican National Com
mittee that the high lights on legis-
lative proposals recommended by
President Hoover and passed by
Milford chronicle., 1930-04-11

Congress are: Tax reduction. farm
relief legislation, public buildings
bill, good roads bill, bill continuing
life of the Radio Commission and
the reapportionment bill Mr.. TilsOn
claims particular credit for his par
ty for the tax reduction measure.
He believes that the Republicans
have made a fine showing and he
tells it rather cheerily and convinc-
ingly.
A good book is a good friend, par
ticularly a bank book.

The old and trite saying to the
effect that time flies" is true in
politics perhaps in a greater degree
than in any other profession or
amusement, call it which you please.
No sooner is one campaign complet-
ed, and the people have settled back
to enjoy the peace and quietude
which comes with the settlement of
important questions, than another
campaign is upon us.

Written For The Herald By H. E. Prall
A little boy read Of castles and knights,
Of maidens fair and terrible fights,
Then, laying aside his nice story-book,
He gave his father a searching look,
Dad, there is a question l ask Of you,
What is the worlds hardest thing to do?"
His father ~pondered a little while,
Then gravely answered without a smile,
ITO earn a living as best one can,
At the same time be what is called "a man;
To steer a course through foible and fad,
And not become what is called a cad:
To do ones best in the face of defeat,
With courage at times to beat a retreat
Ones reputation may not be the best,
But character always should be the test.
The greatest battles of life, my son,
Are fought with self and not always won.
If you would do great things along the way,
Just master the trifles of every day.
That man is greatest by every test
Who faces failure, but does his best

Receiver Coffin
 Given Judgment
Understood Defendant, A Vito Con struetion Co.,, Has Few Uneneum-
 bered Assets

Judgment for $74,9S776 and in- terest amounting to $2s,334.09 was entered upon order of Judge Edward Nj. Yeomans of the superior court in the action of Receiver George M. Golf fin of the Frst National Bank of Put nam against the A. Vito Construction Company of Thompson, at short eal- endar session of the court held in Vii imantie, Friday. There was no person. al appearance of the plaintiff and no one represented the defendant. The judgment was allowed on affidavit on sworn bill cf particulars.
 The action is to recover money due the bank which was loaned the Con- struction Company on unsecured notes, some of the notes being en- dorsed personally by Mir. Vito.
 It is anticipated that the value of the judgment will be far below it's face value as the concern is said to have few unencumbered assets. lit is however, understood that there is ap- proximately s5,0O0 held by Hart ford bank which, it is anticipated, will now be turned over to the receiver. Whether any more of the total amount of the judgment, $103, ,321.s5, will eventually be realized upon is un certain. States Attorney Howard c. Bradford represented the receiver in the suit.
