The report -shows every department in a very prosperous condition; each show- ing good surplus and that at a ao mill rate. When so many municipali- ties are defaulting on their bonds and reporting huge deficits, it mak-es goodere.ading to see how a small -mun- icipality can be run, paying off a big bond indebtedness oe a small tax rate, Thirteen years ago Hlensall had a debt of around $60,000, which has been reduced to $17,491.41 and of which over -half has been provided for. The debt of the village in 1935 was given as $20,258.79 and in 1934 as $17,491.41, a reduction during the year of $2,767.38.
