The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-18

Clarence P. Baldwin, Republican, of Woodbridge taking the administra- ton of Mayor Vincent Scully in Waterbury to task several times for its financial methods.
 Senator Baldwin was quite out spoken in his comments and called attention to the fact that several months ago the city had reduced Its tax rae a mill and one-half and now was seeking o add to it's bonded indebtedness.

 "The mayor of another city was called faker for comparable finan- cial prac ices said Senator Bald win. as he launched a number of questions at Senator Blansfield, among them on why the city was exceeding the limit of its bonded Indebtedness and how 1t brought about tax reductions.

 Senator Blansfield retorted that Waterbury's assets were to be great ly improved
 Senator Baldwin said that 1t wasn't the policy of the finance committee to interfere with home rule, but that h ecouldn't approve of the financial policies Of Water- bury where 1t was reducing its tax rate, knowing that 1t was over its debt limit and contemplating at the same time more bonds.
 Hinting that the tax reduction was something more than economy, he said. Something more than good financing caused the city to reduce It's tax rate.
 Senator Blansfield said that the city's financial condition was better than that in 30 per cent of the cities of Connecticut and tha Mayor Scully had given Waterbury a good economical government.
