commonly used to supply money for short periods of time during the fis- cal year and tide the governmental unit over a spot when revenues are low. This is hard to understand. particularly so when peopel read about a city running up a surplus at the end of the year The fault lies in the fact that in Waterbury the first installment ot taxes is usually paid any time between May 1 and June l. From Jan. l up to May l, though, the various city de- partments have been conducting full scale operations. What revenues have been realized in the same in- terval are much less thu eXpendi- lures, so to cover the difference the municipality floats 6 loan. IL pays it back just as soon as its tax money starts to accumulate.
 Here in Waterbury Surpluses have been running high enough. though, so that the amount so req lized and set up asa revenue in this years budget, plus miscellaneous revenues realized in the early days of the new fiscal year sufficed for all departmental expenditures right up to February. Next year We might have sufficient funds to finance all appropriations made up to March. Thus the gap between Jan- uary and May is being closed and the need of million-dollar tax notes eliminated.
 Now Is Time To Change
 "A simple way of eliminating short-term borrowing is to make tax-due dates and the beginning of the fiscal year conform. Tn Water bury that could be done by making the citys fiscal year start on May or bringing the tax-due date up to Jan. 1. stress the importance of making such a change during cur rent good times because the change can then be made with little or no cost to the municipality and it is better prepared to meet the disrup- tions that might come with a sud- den dislocation of our economy.
