Naug0tuck, MATCH 4.--WIJH V comparatively small deficit, prob- ably less than SS,000 anticipated, the board of warden and burgesses will start work this month at in- formal meetings on the budget for the new fiscal year. Various depart mcnt heads will submit estimates as in the past and the board will en- deayor to sec if these Figures can be reduced.
 The welfare department report for Che ii months ending February 20 Was missing from Borough Clerk Charles Daly's report made last night at the boards regular ses- sion.
 However, the total expenses of other departments was $39be36.9 .90 and at the end of January. the welfare department expenses had been S02,547.4l. This is an average of eG,254 monthly. If this average figure is used as the amount spent in Fcbruary, the total department expenses for the il months would be S68,80i.4l and if this total is added to the total of the other de- partments, we have a total expetl- allure of $464, ,73740. This leaves approximately 3l,1l5.6i remaining from the total budget of $495,- s53,0l. The $4e4,737 is an average expenditure monthly for il months of S42.248. If this same amount IS spent this month there would be apparently @ deficit of about $ii,0o0. But the welfare depart ment probably won't have any net expenses this month for check Tor about S6,OO0 is to be received from the state for alien aid. This leaves an apparent total deficit of $S,000 in the town budget and lack of snow expense may cut this down.
 Departmental Expenses
 The street department with only $49.O4 left on February 20 Of a budget of 975,00O has the least in its budget. It has spent $74,950.96. Of tho health and sanitation budget of $S,CB0, $4.737.ll has been spent, leaving a balance of $7i2.80 to last until the end of this month.
 There is Q balance of $7,43b.l0 Tn tho education department, total of $i79.564.90 having been spent from tho total budgete of $i87000. This eepartment has by far the largest amount to spend each year. The sum of $78,9a7.07 of the general administration budget of $86,472.50 has been spent and there is ST. 4SSA3 balance. In the public safety department, $53, 3,80s.40 .has been spent and there is $s,849.o3 left. The budget total was $62,64o.42.
