Conn. 11. E. llyndman: The city enjoyed a surplus of $3,847. more than $2,000 than estimated last year. A highly favorable rate on a bond sale duriig the year shows Charlouctown has a fine credit reputation. The net debt increased by a little more than $300,000. Ninety-seven per cent of taxes were collected and early budgeting saved the city more than $10,000 in charges. All council conunittees stayed within their budgets.
Conn. Dorothy Corr-igan: The Charlottetown Forum was purchased for $80,000; a full time recreation director Jim Fox was appointed and the first recreation councl formed. Action on the housing problems has been slow. but, following submission of the Town Planning Report “we are looking forward to definite plans for n redevelop- ment program in 1964". High nnemploymat places n heavy burden on the city's two welfare agencies.
Conn. Allison Gillis: 1963 saw the completion of the city's lighting program as it relates to the ciy boundries ‘m effect when it began. 1964 will see the extension of the lighting program into the new areas.

Conn. J. Edmond Arsenault: Reviewed consiraclion work carried out in 1963 by the city and at the some time emphasized the importance of the water pollrfion survey report and efforts to implement its recommendations.
