SPECIAL TAX FOR
CITY OF NORWALK!
(camper—— non-11m Pm)
g—u-o—n
Several obligations were incurred
lduring the fiscal year of 1916-11 for
which there were no appropriations
and some appropriations were exceed-
, ed during that year and loans negoti-
ated in anticipation of taxes.
l' These loans were paid from funds.
a part of which had been appropriated
which diminished the balance in the
treasury for these appropriations.
A tax sufficient to meet and pay
amounts for expenses and debts of,
some of the departments in the Fourth
and Fifth Taxing districts for the year
ending August 31, 19l8, was not laid
by the board.
Another item is that the ‘board of
education has been advised by the
Fuel Committee to enter into. con-
tracts for coal for the season of 19lo-
19 and there are no appropriations for
this. These contracts will have to be
entered into now hence the appl'dfii'l- I
alias of unlppropriated revenues and;
the laying of th‘e special tax.
