It is possible that the town of Ber- lin will not find it necessary to have a much higher tax rate for next year, if the opinions of the members of the board of finance are correct, al- though it seems certain that an in- crease is inevitable, Several days ago an item was pub- stating that it v thought would have at les 23 and a 24 mill tax rate for next At the present time the town 1% mill rate. was thought by some acquainted with town that a 23 mill rate would be sary due to the fact that the town has a $20,000 debt on its hands. The selectmen were authorized at special town meetings to borrow sums of money in order to pay the expenses of the town until May of this spring, when taxes are due. A member of the board of finance =tated this morning that the town has enough money to meet all of its ob- ligations, with the exception of the bond issue. This money will be col- lected in taxes next May and will be sufficient to pay back the money bor- rowed this past year, it is said. To Collect $97.151.62. The budget adopted at the town meeting in October calls for $126 058.73 of which amount $97,451.62 is to be collected by taxes. The re- maining amount is made wup of §457.11 which the town has in vari- ous banks, $8,000 which it expects from the state for schools, $1100 tui- tion fees from Cromweil and Rocky Hill, $3800 expected from the state on stments, $50 for the sale ol from Selden school plot and $15,000 from back taxes.
