 THIS AFTERNOON
Will Arrive at ROckland,
 Maine Some Time After Noon Hour

Rockland, Me, Aug. 16-(UP)- President Roosevelt comes to shore today to stiffen Americas resistance to the Axis powers and set up force full opposition to Japanese ambitions for a new order in the Far East.
 Aboard the presidential yacht Po- tolnac MT. Roosevelt will reach here between noon and p. m. (EDT). A special train will be waiting at the docks, to hurry him to Washington, where he arrives tomorrow. In ser- ies of executive and legislative con- ferences there he will implement the decisions recahed in his sea confer ence with Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain.
 It was believed that MT. Roosevelt would hold a press conference upon coming ashore and perhaps reveal more details of his meetings with Churchill.
 During the final hours of his cruise, the president conferred with Harry l.. Hopkins, administrator Of the lend-lease program. He has m- dicated that new request for funS to continue and amplify $7,0O0, ,O00,- 900 lend lease program was being deferred until he had talked with Hopkins who has visited Premier Josef Stalin and other Russian oftl- cials in Moscow and presumably IS familiar with Russian needs.
 During the night, the yacht was anchored of Deer island, not far from here, and the president radioed Washington that he was accompan- jed only by Hopkins and members of his immediate staff.

City Finances Are In Excellent Condition'
Budget Director Olsen Disclosed Con- ditiOn in Report Today

Waterbury's finances are in ex- cellent condition for the remaining five months of the year, a report on expenses for the first seven months by Budget Director Thorvald E. Ol- sen disclosed today. Of total bud- get appropriations of $6,19t ,752 for the year, a balance of $2,414,960 was available as of August l. Surpluses in several departments, notably the welfare department. are indicated.
 The budget directors report, copies of which have been filed with Mayor Vincent A Scully and Con- troller Thomas M. Conlon, shows that the city spent 61 per cent of its total budget during the period from January 1 to July 3l. This is in excess of the 58 per cent figure reached by dividing the budget into i2 equal parts and allowing one part for each month. However, the ex- cess is caused largely by bond pay ments and other expenditures that will not have to be repeated.
 Much Has Been Spent
 Of the controllers general finan- cial fund, 698 per cent has been spent, but payments on bond inter- est and principal for the year have been largely completed. The legal department has spent 62.2 per cent of its total appropriation of $75,- 851 leaving a balance of $50, ,206, but large part of the expenditure was for compensation and damage claims against the city which are now wiped of the books.
 The Welfare department has spent only 45.6 per cent of its ap- propriation of $S80,528, leaving a balance of $216,1S5 for teh remain ing five months. At this rate the de- partment will have a surplus of per- haps $100,O00 or more.
 The police department has spent 56.1 per cent of its $545, ,538 appro- priation, leaving a balance of $780, 4Ol.
 The fire department went over the average, spending 63.4 per cent of its $627 POS appropriation. The ex- cess, was caused by unexpected re- pairs to apparatus and the purchase of new engine There is balance of $2S9, 9,486.
