The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-02-01

ASAuSatuCh, cDs I-OlG uCPdIL xnent which is certain to have an 0ver-expenditure this year of it's budget is the street department. The work on the Union City bridge will assure this, it was learned to- day. This work is regarded by Su- pedintendent or Streets Victor An- derson as emergency work. It is not 6 CWA job but is a regular town job.
 It will run into heavy expense according to the street superinten- dent and seems likely to cost well oyer $500. The bridge was in very bad shape and constituted a men, ace to travel because of the large holes in 1t, according to the super 5ntendent.
 There will be about 15,000 feet Of 1umber required, 1t is expected now, and the cost of this is $35 a. thousand feet. In addition other materials necessary will send the price upwards. The work has been Undertaken now without official sanction of the board because it was felt that the borough might be liable to serious damage suits if any bad accident should occur. aa a result of the bad condition of this bridge which is much trav- eled spot.
 However, there was no provision Tn the budget for such work and as a. result there is no money left in the appropriation for it. The nfoney will have to be borrowed from some other part of the total appropriation for the year. Just now there doesn't seem likely to be an overabundance of money left in any department however. Except for state and CWA funds { the welfare department would have been in the red before this.
 Publications the the school de- partment may overspend it's bud get. but if not it will have only a small amount left over, it is now Believed.
