Bancroft last week announced Town Meeting Question Revised WINSTED Town havve decided to include the words "town meeting" in the Dec. 11 charter election vote concerning the town meeting question.

The accounting slip, which came to light Friday, made it appear the nation's money was larger than it actually was.

The result was a sharp rise in interest rates which banks pay each other for the short-term use of funds. It also meant the Treasury had to pay higher interest rates on $8.1 billion worth of bills it sold in three separate auctions during the week.
