IT'S YOUR MONEY

By M/lton E. Chaffee

WHY PEOPLE BORROW

The most obvious reason isneed of money. They may behi• by a financial emergency

such as • serious illness, lossof job, a major repair that can'twait.But, in the last decade or two,people have been borrowingfor other reasons, amongthem: for education and train-ing that can bring higherearnings; for home improve-menus and purchases to in-crease comfort and reduceliving expenses; to make busi-ness •vestmenus; to buy majoritems as bargain prices.Here are some examples:

EDUCATION AND SELF-IMPROVEMENT.

A student takes out a loan tocomplete his college educa-

tion. He may eventually earnup to a quarter-million dollarsmore than he might have as ahigh school graduate.

MAJOR APPLIANCES.

Purchase of a washing mac-hine can cut laundry bills orease the burden of homelaundering. A freezer canenable a family to stock up onseasonal food bargains.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS.

Installation of a new heatingunit, insulation or the additionof storm windows may helpreduce fuel bills.

Consideration will be given to the

suggestion that auto taxes be paid in one

payment.

In regular board business, the Board of

'Education request for $107,646 to satisfy all

recently negotiated contracts was apprived as

the amount had already been anticipated for

last year's budget.

Another.Board of Education request for

$490 for the Vocational Work-Study program

offered "at the high school, previously tabled,

was denied with the suggestion that the

Board of. Education.find the money from

within their own budget.

The original request •as for $2450 of

which 80 per cent ($1960) is reimbursable.

The Board of Education felt that as students

employed in this program were working for

the town, the town should pick up theadditional $490.

The vote was two to two with Chairman

Ralph Mann breaking "the tie by voting to

deny the request.

Appropriations of $25,467 to the Police

Board Budget were approved by the Board of

Finance as the result of salary negotiations.

Of the original request for $31,062, $1500

was cut from the sick leave account along with

$1500 for vacations and the non-reimbursable

account was reduced from $5095 to $2500, on

the basis that each of the accounts has

substantial funds at the present time.

After considerable discussion the re-

Page 1t

quest, of the Library Board of Trustees for$10,800 to get the Bradley H. BarnesMuseum operating was approved.

The breakdown of the request was asfollows: $4000 for the salary of the caretaker-custodian; "$800 for utilities; $200 •forstationary, postage and cleaning supplies;.$300 for a vacation replacement and $5500 forthe security alarm system and rental.

The income from the Norman A. BarnesTrust Fund of $200,000, set up in the will ofBradley H. Barnes, valued at approximately$8.171.51 will be paid to the library trusteeswho will turn it over to the town for deposit inthe general fund.

Further payments to the town will bemade in Feb•:uary, May, August andNovember of each year, but the exact amountof the payments not yet knowh.

• Approved was a $200 transfer in theYouth Counselor-Coordinator budget fromfield trips, etc. to office supplies andexpenses.

Other transfers approved were $5194from the street widening account to land fillarea improvements in the capital fund, $1375from head of adult services to head librarian,

' $65 in the Highway Department budget from

maintenance materials, etc. to street signsand $500 in the Park Board budget fromChristmas decorations and supplies torenovate comfort stations at Recreation Park.
