llf-Ioii ii Ilall Conimlttee'a Report
The town report this year will show
a net increase of ilnbt of 820, 500 tic
sidou soiiio 2,000 more necessary to ad
just nnd complete too town house mat
tei. We havo paid 85,000 of tho fund
ed loan and $1,000 of the bridge
bonds, and have borrowed $28,000 for
the opera bouse enterprise. g:l,000 for
tho vault, and wo oivo a temporary
note or i00, borroweu for tlio town
general business.
Tho delicit in the latter is less than
was to be expected from the extraordi
nary oxpeuses that havo been incurred.
and does not ootuparo unfavorably with
the admirable showing of the year pre
vioue. The town tax wns five cents
larger, giving aom 2,500 more money,
ai.il the balance on hand is only
$109.11 whoro it was ?1, 743.85 at the
beginning of tho year. So tho present
board of selectmen have had about
i?l,lXH.l more money to handlo than the
year previous. Rut on the other hand
thev havo paid ?io,UJ ol the bonded
debl, which was omitted the year be
fire, have spent over ?I,o00 for the
est Hrattleboro bridge, 1UU for regrnd-
itiK Kullerhill, 200iii the Retreiitwalls,
1,000 fur the town's teams, and have
turned over to the road commiBsiouer
S801.2S in excess of tho highway tax
and besides have had about 1,500 less
income from the town hall, in all 5100
of unusual expenses, besides the debt
payment.
The report shows tho expenses to
have been 1000 for bond coupons.
7SIS..'tl for interest on other Joans,
81, KM. 20 for town officers, 92.'!. 43 for
the town farm, 1, i:i."t. OT for poor not
at the farm, .'!07.;17 for bridges.
471. 8!l for repairs on the Hindsale
bridge, .'1IS fur land damages for the
West street extension, anil Bilge street
widening and 1.'!5 for work on the
West street extension, 200 to .Mrs.
Kirkland for land damages, 100 paid
for settlement of tho Vivier suit,
1.200 to tho Library, 0:i0 for electric
light fur Western Avenue, and about
2,000 of miscellaneous bills, besides
what went for state taxes Ac. in other
worus tho ordinary expenses of run
ning tho town are only about 10,000 a
year subject to a deduction of 1,01X1 or
.1,500 for town hall income. All the
rest is represented by interest and
debt payments and the "extras" which
we persist in voting. When once tve
stop piling up new debt and get rid of
the old, a town tax of 20 cents will be
sulllciunt to run us, and with the
highway, school and village expenses,
the total tax burden can be cut down
close to il on tho grand list, provided
at the same timo a reform can be
brought about in state affairs to put
n end to the grand list tax, which ib
withou .. e reuse in addition to the
corporation tax, and represents noth
ing but extravagance and waste.
When this is brought about the town
cannot fail to grow and prosper; for
nothing helps in this respect so much
as low taxes and nothing retards so
much as high taxes and debt. This
is what men who have the future of
Brattleboro at heart should remember
and when next time some one bubs up
with a scheme to in-ur a lot more of
debt just invito him to sit down. It is
even more necessary for that individuals
to go slow in incurring expenditures,
for the eirects are more fai reaching.
For the present it seems to us to be
good policy to suspend reduction of
the bonded debt and devote ourselves
to cleaning away this town house debt.
because the latter is one that we can
not be sure of avoiding trouble with,
being illegal from the start, even with!
an enabling act by the legislature so j
as to market the bonds. I, is one we j
are bound by every consideration of
honor to pay. and being an honou debt
should be cleared away first.
There in also a debt of some ri.ooO
for the state school tax that must be
met this year. This tax c&unot be
collected this year, under tho law as
fixed by the legislature and as
the money collected for it has been
used it must be paid out of the gener
al fund. It is not a matter for
which the presejt administration is in
any way to blame. They collected one
state school tax and paid one, but it
was tho tax of 1895 that they collected
and that of 1894 which they paid. We
got one year behind in this matter sever
al years ago. in 1890. The money which
does not have to bo paid till March,
being collected the summer previous,
anil several years ago wo began to ise
it for current expenses, borrowing
money to pay it in tho spring, repay
ing from the subsequent year's tax.
It also seems judicious this year to
suspend the appropriation for macadam
road. The tax is going to bo heavy !
