Biodgett that New |Britain has diverted from fts proper purposes §4,768.42 deposited with {the treasurer in 1847 as a town de- posit fund, the revenue of which was to be used for educational pur- |poses, and the two officials pointed lout that not only has the city main- tained the account intact, but it has more than doubled the principal. Commissloner Blodgett has just completed a quadrennial report s!\o\\mg the condition of cities and jtowns with regard to debts and |funds. He lists 114 towns in which he reports there are traces of the old town deposit fund, and says fur- |ther: “The disappearance of money be- |longing to this fund is illustrative of the inaccuracy of the methods em- iployed by present and previous |treasurers of the municipalities of {the state. The prospect of a closer contact between the municipalities of the state and this department (state tax commissioner's office) should result helpfully and to the ladvantage of the towns which may be directly denefited thereby and fo the tax commissioner who in the future will be enabled to better un- derstand the difficulties encountered by treasurers in furnishing accurate |reports. T emphasize the importance of the installation of simplified and systematic methods of accounting in municipalities.” New Britain is not included in the group of towns which, the commis. sioner reports, have notificd him of fa town deposit fund intact In another part of the discussion lof town deposit disappearance, Com- missioner Blodgett says: “It will be |noticed that in some towns no men- tion is made of the town deposit fund. In such cases no record of the fund appears. In 1847 the state dis- tributed to the towns $764,985.96. |The towns were required to keep |this fund intact and were authorized to use the interest derived therefrom |for educational purpeses only. | “An investigation of the condition the state hoard of education disclosed the fact that the aggregate fund had de- creased from $704,985.96 to $754,- 972.34. A second investigation re- cently made by the same board shows that this find has decreased to $693,435.42. The difference in the fund as originally distributed and the amount remaining has not been accounted for. Reports filed with this department show the amount held in town posit and other funds to be only $625,094.21. | The first printed municipal record |of New Britain, issued in 1860, show- ed the condition of the fund to be 18 shares Aetna bank stock, $1,800; 0 shares Mercantile Bank stock, $2,90¢; cash on deposit, $58.42.
