jects are large in amounts, that un. usual tax levies would be necessary to finance large public works pro- grams. Consequently, one additional resource remains not commented up- on, the City's ability to borrow. Cit- les may Issue bonds or other evidence of indebtedness as a means of pay- ing for these projects. This results in the City becoming obligated to set up in it's appropriations each year an amount sufficient to pay for bond redemption and bond interest, the total of which is referred to as debt service. Under Connecticut general statutes, bonds issued must be rec deemed in 20 equal annual irstall- ments. This means of financing Is a fair one, ifasmuch as the City would in most cases pay off the bond issue over the life of the asset ace qulred through completion of the project for which the bonds were is- tued.
 If it should happen that bonds were issued indiscriminately, the City would obtain a resulting debt service that would tend to block fti- ture use of this resource. It might also occur. through 6 Special Act, that the City would exceed the stat- itory debt limit.
 While this status exists, the City's capital improvements program would have to be abandoned until such time as the debt service is brought back to a reasonable figure.
 Consequently, when the City Plan Commission brought out the Six-Yeaf Plan of Public Tmprovements', every effort was made to provide @ reason able debt service schedule, that would permit the capital improve mert program to be carried out in accordance with good sound financ- ing. This involved leaving sufficient latitude so that at the completion of the six year period, bonds could be issued for continued growth of City facilities.
 Thus, 1t can be seen that City planning and budgetin, with a long range viewpoint are necessary. Pre- paration of a budget should not be accomplished with the narrow view of one year, rather each years bud- get should be prepared with the idea of using this enabling document as as aid to promoting future growth.

 What You Need to Keep Rights
 By way of illustration, we know that personal and property rights are enjoyed because potential ag- gressors stronger than any indi- vidual, are restrained or deterred by the presence of police force, and courts are maintained, with the abil- fly of inflicting penalties or making civI awards in eases where anyone has violated the laws of the com munity, state, or nation, or commit ted tortuous act on fellow citizen. Fire departments will act to save lives or property wherever conflag- rations occur. Health departments act to keep diseases in the comfntifl- fly controlled. Town clerks maintain land records to preserve the integrity of titles in property as well as vital statistic records. Schools and librar- ies provide for education within the community. Welfare departments operate to care for indigent people Parks are operated for the common recreation of ali citizens. Public works are carried out to promote the City's growth and welfare.
 The performance of the functions described above cost money. Without a budget, there would be no guaran. tee that first things would come first The resources available could bt spent on personal whim. Consequent. ly, the budget enjoys the role of en. abling the City to perform it's man. datory operations before optiona, functions or methods are financed.
 An examination of those items comprising the resources of the City diScloses that they are levies of cur rent taxes, estimates of possible col- lections on delinquent taxes, esti- mates of interest and penalties, spec ial assessments, sales of foreclosed properties, State collected.-muni- cipal shared taxes, Federal and State grants. licenses, permits, and various minor miscellaneous reven- ues
 An estimate of the amount realiz- able from these sources is made by the Board of Finance and. in addi- ton thereto, the Board computes the amount of surplus which also may be used as resource. With such estimates available and in mind. the Board proceeds to review the requests of the various depart ments for funds. It can be seen therefore that in a practical sense. the funds of the City are limited.
 Public Works Need Big Levies

Deadline For Dog
Tags Approaching

Auditor Ray McVay announced to-
day that Sunday, January 20. was
the deadline for purchasing dog tags
in this county and that great
many have neglected to purchase
the tags.
Auditor McVay expects a rush at
the dog tag window this week and
it is expected that the total will a.
mount to 100. Last Friday, only
783 had been sold.
According to the records. 100
were sold by January 20, 1945. Be-
tween that date and March %, the
total reached 1900 and during the
summer an additional 80 were sold
McVay pointed out that the pen
atty is set by the state and must be
paid after January 20.
Dale Reed is the Noble county dog
warden and soon after the tag sale
closes will swing into action and
round up the CANNES, not properly
tagged.

UNEMPLOYMENT
BUREAU SHOULD
OPERATE DAILY
Five Applications
Submitted To Manage
Local Office

According to figures on file with
the Selective Service board, over 300
veterans have been discharged and
of this number, 600 are receiving
benefits from the Unemployment
Bureau, whose office is in the build
ing recently purchased by the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars.
Repeated efforts have been made
to open up this office on five day
week basis, rather than the We'd
nesday morning procedure which is
now in effect. But with the red tape
and everything else which makes
the State Department of Un-Em-
ployment benefits tick, nothing has
been done about it.
1t is known that five applications
have been submitted for the job of
managing this office, including
three young men and two women.
Still the State Department is con-
tent to let things remain as they
are.
Everyone in Caldwell is acquainted
with the long line of Veterans who
gather each Wednesday morning to
pick up their Rocking Chair
money" One chap stated that last
Wednesday he waited in line four
hours, before receiving his check.
The set-up is a good one but un-
der present conditions very poorly
managed. 1t is utterly impossible
for a clerk to handle so many in
such little time. The entire situa-
tion could be remedied by opening
the office on a full time basis and
giving the job to one of the appl-
cants.
The percentage of veterans receiv-
ing unemployment checks in this
county is staggering, when it is
pointed out that those so doing
aren't working.
1t is understood that many vete-
rams feel they don't want to go right
back to work after receiving their
This is alright for a few
weeks but should get old in time.
The unemployment office in
Caldwell should be open. The State
is being asked to cut
some red tape and perhaps in anoth-
er week or two, the veterans will
come into their own.
