The last such booklet was printed 10 years ago.

Since then, a state law requiring publication of such booklets each 10 years has been eliminated by the General Assembly so that the chances of the Board of Finance or Common Council approving the expenditure henceforth appear slim. Opalacz said that he had found that banks, attorneys and a few other residents are interested in such booklets that most people were not. However, Opalacz feels there should be such a publication each 10 years and is therefore going to ask for the money. The commissioners office staff, including himself, is still at work on checking of stocks of stores and industrial inven tories, the final phase of the work leading up to the draft of the grand list for 1966. More than 2,500 properties on whicn work was done, according lo building permits issued, were viewed bv Opalacz and his aides during recent months.
