 A further provision Is that if any community goes 10 per cent ovor it's budget In one year, 1t must set up deficit item in tho budget of the following year. The Waterbury city charter now makes provision for this.
 However two years ago the Leg islature gave Waterbury permis- sion to establish 6 two year mora tcrium on deficit items. Thus in 1884 and 1895 budgets there were no deficit items. It Is believed that the city expects to ask another two years moratorium at this session of the Legislature.
 In order to permit cities to change to a uniform tax collecting date the bill provides that a town may float bonds necessary to de- fray expenses during the peri0 from its present tax date to July 1, 1936.
