CITY EXPENSES
WITHIN BUDGET
More Than $I,OOO,OOO Ex-
pended Since January |,
Controller Announces

The city Of Waterbury has spent
or contracted for expenditures of
slightly more than $1,0O00O0 dur
ing the first two months of 1914,
according to the general fund sum-
mary as announced at the Office of
City Controller Cornelius F. Maloney
today This is slightly less than
average for the twelve-month period
and indicates, the controller stated,
that the city is living within its
budget despite heavy bonded debt
payments during January and Feb
ruary.
The 1914 budget provided appro-
priations of $6497. 1853 for the
city's various departments. AS Of
March 1 there was still available
for appropriation during 1914 S.
AS, 323.97. Expenditures for the g
month period totaled $1,001, LAG &c,
while encumbrances against depart
mental items amounted to $43, 1926. 35.
The largest departmental expendi-
ture to date is that of the controller
general financial-$310,1 with
$345.20 encumbrances. Bond retire.
ment and interest charges account
for this, the city having redeemed
to date in 1914 $3.50, 900 in bonds and
paid off $91011.25.
Similar heavy payments are noted
In the water fund-$102 900, bond re
tirement; $l14,952, interest charges.
Total water fund expenditures for
the two month period were $240, =
66762 plus $4,545.78 encumbrances.
The police department budget
shows sos ,304.35 expended. mainly
made up Of salary items. The same
is true in the fire department where
expenditures totaled $102,224. In
the department Of education eXpen-
ditures amounted to $266, 1852, also
accounted for by salaries.
The $4,000 item for trucks and
equipment to be used for snow re-
moval. public works department,
showed balance of $5,473 at the
end of February, but the recent
March storm is expected to cut this
figure somewhat. The above fig
ure, also, does not account for labor
costs due to snow removal, which
are no longer segregated in the
public works budget, but are COM
puted with the regular departmental
salaries.

Troopers Find Supervision
of Traffic Responsible
Task

State Police made five times as
many arrests for various traffic vio-
lations, issued five times as many
warnings to misbehaving motorists,
prosecuted four times as many cases
in various courts and spent nearly
twice as many patrol-days on Con-
necticut highways during February,
1914. in comparison to February last
year, the Connecticut Highway
Safety Commission reported today.
This intensive supervision Of
traffic on state highways is only
an indication Of increasing activity
by the Connecticut State Police De-
partment," the Safety Commissino
stated. while accident case-totals
for 1913 were lower than those
charged against 1912. the rate Of ac-
cident incidence was only slightly
less, an entirely unsatisfactory de-
velopment in view of the marked
restrictions on motor vehicle use"
Quoting specific figures, the Safe
ty Commission said that the State
Police report for February, 1914
showed 2815 warnings. $50 arrests,
1853 cases presented in court and
1897 patrol-days on the highways,
with an average of 80 men per day
supervising traffic.
ION the basis of an eight-hour
daily coverage, the experience in
dictate that during 20 days Of Feb
ruary a motorist was stopped every
five minutes, during the average
tour of duty by an officer, to be
given a warning or a summons to
court. 1t is hoped that this same
close supervision of traffic can be
developed in urban areas, in dis
tricts where accident experience Is
much higher than on state thor
oughfares. Coupled with effective
court action, the result would be a
marked increase in public safety"
