100000 Income
 Tax Blanks Out
Mailed Tuesday By Bureau of Internal Revenue at
 Hartford

Waterbury people in common with others all over the state will be interested to know that about 100000 income tax blanks were mailed Tuesday night at the Hart ford post office by the bureau of internal revenue to taxpayers in Connecticut. The number of re- turns Is expected to be about the same as that of last year, said Col onel Robert O. Eaton, collector of internal revenue, for although many former taxpayers will not be expected to file, because of unem- ployment, many other persons will be included by the lowering of the exemption figure.
 The exemptions to be allowed on the tax to be collected this year will be $1,000 for single persons and $2500 for those married. The tax on income in excess of the ex- emptions will be four per cent on tho first 5000. The tax on all income in excess of $4,000 will be 8 per cent. Surfaces start at $6.- 900, and are graduated until there is surtax of 55 per cent on in- como in excess of $1,000,000.
 Last year, the exemptions were S1,500 for single persons and $3,b00 for the married. The tax on the first $4,000 in excess of the exemp- ton was 1 h per cent. Three per

4 NEW ELECTION
 OVER IN IRELAND
Opposition Forces De Val- era to Make an Appeal
 to the People
SHAW PREDICTS DEFEAT

A few weeks ago George Bernard Shaw said that DeValera was elect ed to conduct a government in Ire" land based on the will of the peo- pie and that Cosgrave was chosen to see thet DeValera did not suc- ceed. Shaw remarked that 1t was not possible for any government to make good under such conditions. The Irish people never took any stock in what Shaw said of them, but just the same sometimes ones enemies throw out hints that con- tain much valuable information.
 The Irish parliament is now dis solved and an election will be held on January 24. Many believe that DeValera will not be able to win enough seats to give him con- trol of the new parliament. Well, this will not be known until after the election. DeValera was ham pered from the start. His party did not have a majority and he had to make concessions to others in or- der to give the republicans work ing majority. The allies remained with DeValera as long as 1t suited themselves. and when things did not go to their liking, they forgot the higher and nobler aims that animated DeValera and those as- sociated with him and, of course, there was no alternative but an ap- peal to the people.
 With the Cosgrave forces, the senate and other elements, hos tile to the republicans from the be- ginning, 1t Is Q wonder that the parliament held out as long as 1t did.
 DeValera is making an effort to have the people place independence above everything else until they get on their feet and then work for the common good of all. With this end in view he has frequent ly referred to the sacrifices made by Washington and his compatri- ots in this country and assured them that until they adopt this policy success never will crown their efforts. He has gone long way in this direction, but the road Is getting pretty rough and With so much opposition he Is finding It an uph job to hold representatives who have personal ends to serve. Owing to the depression which has hit Ireland as well as every other nation, DeValera, believed that everybody with some earning ca- pacity should carry share of the burden, and took steps to reduce the income of government em- ployes. This did not set well on those who had comfortable sal: aries and they took advantage of the situation to put the govern ment out of business. Now 1t IS up to the people again In much the same shape as 1t has been Tor centuries.

ENGINEER PLANS FLOOD PREVENTION
PROTEST AGAINST
 COMMUNITY HOUSE
Property Owners League Oppose Building in
 Washington Park
MET THIS MORNING

The following is a copy of report of the Property Owners league filed at the Democrat office today by Edward Udelowitz:
 A meeting of the executive committee of the Property Owners league was called by its chairman, Edward Udelowitz, this morning to take action on the proposed sale of bonds for the building of Q community house on Washington Park. The members of the com mittee decided unanimously to op- pose the sale of the bonds and the building of the community house, as being an unwarranted and un- necessary outlay of city money at this time. It was also the counsens- us of opinion among the committee that the building of the commun- ity house will entail additional ex- penses on the city in the cost of maintenance of the building. The executive committee selected a special committee made up of it's chairman, George J. Lasky, Hector F. Auray, Joseph Dander and An tonic Corvinelli, to walt on Secre- tary Moore, of the park commits sion, and register the opposition of the league to the sale of the bonds and the building of the com nnunitV house.

plumbers be obliged to supply cer- tified surety bonds before being aT- lowed to open. streets. He pointed out that in the past personal bonds have been filed. In many instances the city has been sued due to open- ings and poorly repaired openings. Wh, I the city lost in court or set tied with claimants, he pointed out 1t has been practically impossible to recover on the personal bonds. Therefore, Attorney O'Connor ex- plained. the municipality had to do all the settling. He suggested a $5,- 900 surety bond for every opening. The matter was referred to a com-
 z, consisting of Commis issioneTs James Phelan, Peter Griffin and c.
 rthur Dubois.

$3,OOO To Curb
 Nuisance At Homer S And Thomaston Ave.
Launch Project Shortly to Prevent Recurrence of Con- dition Which Entails Enormous Expense to City -Repave Brook Street

Extensive plans for relieving the storm water drainage condition in Waterville, at the corner of Thom- aston avenue and Homer street were submitted to the board of works last night by City Engineer Robert A. Cairns. No action. was taken by the commissioners but 1t is expected that the project will be launched shortly In order to e1im- mate the flooding of Thomaston avenue at this point during heavy rain st rms and spring thaws.
 Agitation. in favor of 0 storm water drainage system has been pushed for quite some time in view of the great property damage caus- cd by water. It has also been pointed cut that Thonaston ave- nue Is the main thoroughfare lead ing to points further north, such as Thomaston, Torrington and Winsted and the Berkshires and that traffic has been interrupted many times duo to flooding.
 City Engineer Cairns reported ;3 t the cost of the work will be about $3.000, exclusive of the cost of Q deed for a right-of-way be obtained so that the storm wa ter system may empty into the Naugatuck river, 1t was pointed out. It is expected that negotiations to proc, re the right-of-way will be started right away.
 Another important improvement was given a start last night, also. The board instructed the city en- gineering department to prepare plans and estimates for the repav- ii geof Brook street and also figures on fixing the sidewalks and curbs on the aame street. In the plans tho engineering department will have to include estimates for build ing Q channel under the thorough fare for Great Brook. The brook Is now enclosed all the way to the Naugatuck river except under Brook street. There only loose !one walls form the channel. Danger of heavy truck crashing mo the brook was pointed out.
 Corporation Counsel Charles S. o'Connor, In communication to the board, urged that heneeforth
