REPORTS CUT
NCITY'SDEBT

Numerous recommended
lions for the facilitation and
administration Of the finan-
cial program for the City OF
waterbury were contained in
the report submitted today
by Cornelius f. Maloney, City
Controller, as of December,
1913. High-lighted was his
suggestion Of continuance of
a self-sustaining system dur
ing each fiscal year.
Mr.. Maloney reports that
the city's bonded debt has
been reduced by $656,000
despite the sale Of $185, 900
Water Bonds, Series 1941,
during May of last year.
AS reported here previously the
city controller Is hopeful that be-
cause Of the fact that the city is
now within its per cent bond lin
itation the 1916 legislature may
see fit to exempt the city's water
binds, series Of 1871. At the pres
ent time the city Is forced to in
clude these bonds with general
obligations used in computing the
total subject to statutory 1imita-
ton. The legislature provided for
sale Of these bonds in 1941 only
with the condition that they be
included in the general obligations.
This was done more in the sense Of
disciplinary measure as the city
at that time had exceeded its
bonded limit.
Among the recommendations made
by the controller was the possible
change in the term Of the city's
fiscal year or a revision Of its tax
due dates. Mr.. Maloney points
out that despite the fact that the
city government operates year after
year with good size Surpluses, the
General Fund runs perilously low
during the month Of April, prior to
May 1st when the first tnstallmenI
Of taxes fall due.
At present because Of this condi-
ton the city is obligated to borrow
on its tax anticipation notes to
create sufficient operating funds for
the first term Of the year. This
years borrowing was in the amount
of 100000 which is payable this
June 8.
Mr.. Maloney points out the criti-
cal need for such a change and
states prompt payment by large
taxpayers averts additional borrow
ing to carry the city through the
lean days"

money IN anticipation of taxes

Pearl Hurbor
Scandal May

washington, June /. (UP)-A
proposal for creation of a court
Of inquiry to bring out the full
story Of Pearl Harbor as a pre-
liminary to courts martial for Rear
Admiral Husband e. Kimmel and
Map. Gen. Walter @. Short, was
under Congressional consideration
today.
The court Of inquiry approach, it
was learned, was suggested in
formally to congressman as an
alternative to immediate court mar
tial proceedings which both the War
and Navy Department resist. The
service departments explain that
the officers whose testimony would
be essential to court martial pro-
ceedings are more essentially EN-
ployed now In the war effort.
The s'court Of inquiry" would be
q special group established either
by Congress or by the President,
with authority to visit any part Of
the world to take the testimony Of
these officers.
Meanwhile, the senate judiciary
committee was scheduled to act TO-
day on a resolution recommended
yesterday by a subcommittee which
would see kto extend until Dec. z
the time in which court martial
proceeding could be institupted
against Kimmel and Short. The
subcommittee approved it yesterday
despite a disclosure that Attorney
General Francis Biddle last Decem-
Der had held the statute Of linita-
lions expired, in the Kimmel- Short
case, last Dec. z; that it is impos-
sible for Congress to extend 1t; and
