By $15,881; Budget

Had not receipts from sources
other than taxation exceeded ex-pectations
by $15,881.90 during the
past fiscal year, the village would
have gone into the red nearly
$10,000 Instead of having had a
balance of that amount on March
1, last, a study of the annual re-port
of Village Treasurer Stephen
W. Hunt reveals.
Thts was due to the fact that
despite efforts of the Village Board
..to economize, expenditures ex-ceeded
the budgetary allotments by
$5,968.85.
. When the 1941-42 budget was
adopted, it totaled $616,304.39. Put-ting
estimated receipts at $116,-
129.66, it Axed the amount to be
raised by taxation at $500,174.73.
Instead expenditures for all bud-getary
purposes totaled $622,273.24,
or $5,908.85 more than had been
anticipated. But fortunately in-stead
of the yield of $116,129.66
anticipated from various sources of
income in March 1941, they were
found to have totaled $132,011.56

«$10,000 balance about which Mayor
Wprden E. Winne and others
boasted at the budget hearing when
he gave William J. Marvin, chair-man
of the budget committee the
glory.
While eight of the seventeen de-partments
spent less than their
budgetary allowances, and two
items, $300 for Memorial Day and
$10,400 for the installment on the
Fpreman-Daviqon judgment, were
carried out as indicated, the seven
in which the appropriations were
exceeded, overbalanced the saving
to the tune of nearly $6,000. The
greatest excess was in the matter
of publicity and advertising kn
which though only $1,000 was ap-propriated,
expenditures totaled
$4,193.71.

In his statement submitting the
proposed budget to the board at its
meeting on Monday night, April 6,
Mayor Winne said, after announc-ing
a seven point cut in the 1942-43
tax rate: /
"In accomplishing this result we

The following tables compiled from figures contained in the

$10,000 balance reported by the Village Board at the close of the
