 10 eee an idsa os tho problems which we will face in the future. tt b helpful to look at some og those which we have faced im the recent past. The city 6 constantly ehang- ing and the demands which t faces change too. Therefore. the proo- lens of the future win not be those of the past. The general pattern will hold true, however, and will indicate the way in which these municipal difficulties gill have to be approached if the future of the city 6 to be secure.
 Because of the difficulties of the depression and post depression periods, Waterbury's pre-war flnaxl- cial position was not good. Today, Waterbury is fiscally as sound as any of the larger cities of the State and far better than some. Our present financial health is due % the conservative financial policies which we have followed.
 City's Debt Reduced
 The first thing we did was seead- fly to pay off our financial debe without recourse to refundine bonds as employed in Bridgeport. AS 6 result. from January l, io40 to Jan. uaTy 1, i047 our total municipal debt will have been reduced ez.A9e.- 500. We could have sold further bonds to pay of the old bonds as they came due but this we did not do. Because of ttlls policy we do not have the situation which faces the taxpayer in Hartford. In that city a tax rate lower than necessary to finance the budget has been used each year for many years. As a result, the city ends each year with a deficit which Is paid of through the sale of bonds. Through that method of financing, the taxpayer not only pays the deficit but also builds up . bonded debt upon which he must pay interest.
 The second step which was taken to strengthen our fiscal position was to put the Water Fund on q paying basis. For years this fund had been financed by large coEtri- buttons from the General Fund which were taken from the prop erty owner in the form of general taxation. This procedure was clear

 Trieste Los-iom
 Leoves Ministers
 In Nervous State

New York, Nov. 25 - (uP) - The Big Four foreign ministers today launched what some observers term cd their make or break" week In efforts to clear the Trieste log- jam, approve the satellite peace treaties and set the stage for German peace discussions.
 Their patience worn thin by three weeks of inconclusive debate. the foreign ministers met once again high in the secluded Waldorf tow- CTS, with 35 points of disagreement still snarling their elforts to de- termine TTieste's future status.
 Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and British Foreign Minis ter Ernest Bevin have given repeat ed indications that if Russian For- eign Minister V. M. Molotov does not adopt a more conciliatory atti- tude, they may seek to lay aside the satellite treaties indefinitely.
 Trieste Has Two Vital Issues
 The definition of powers for in- ternationalized Trieste's governor and the issue of Allied troop with drawal from that troubled Adriatic city remained the core of stalemate.
 Without agreement on Trieste the Italian peace treaty cannot be fin- ished. and without an Italian treaty no final approval can be given to settlements for Rumania. Bulgaria, Finland and Hungary.
 Indications of frightened nerves displayed at the conference table have seeped through the closely. guarded doors.
 How Each Feels
 More frequently Bevin has at- tackled the word If" to his remarks on the treaties. Hyrnes on several occasions has acidly referred to Mo- lotovs skill as e ''horse-trader." while the Russian has attributed this skill to lessons learned from his colleagues.
 Conference oincials helittied re- ports that the big powers may 90 their own ways in reaching agree. Inent with the satellite powers. They point out that the Big Four are pledged against drafting sepa- rate peace treaties.
 But it was agreed that Byrnes may take the initiative in shelving the satellite treaties. The secretary came to the conference wdth what he regarded as an iron bound" agreement to talk over the German peace by Nov. 40. That date has ocme an dgone. and Byrnes' Ger man advisers await ct his elbow Co launch the discussions.
