Besides the regular ? 5 operating expense, one funding bond ;; of $1,000 was paid during the year. The special sewer fund showed a bal- " ance of over $2.0C0. This fund also paid off a bond in the amount of 5 $1 ,0C0 during the year. The city collector's report for the year showed a total of $10,721.41 collected in water rents and sewer service charges. vr Drcrease In Income y A decrease in income was out in the city clerk's report, showir a drop from $8,822.16 in the previous year to a total of $7,168.85 for the year ending. The largest reduction came in receipts from tavern licenses, • decrease of $850. The next largest decrease came in permits covering Imilding construction and water and- •fewer connections. This, of course, jfvas due to wartime restrictions in |>uildin?. It was interesting to note that dog licenses, a subject of frequent discussion, brought in the sum of $82.50, an increase of $12 over the previous year.
