CUTTERS DAMAGED
 BY STORM MONDAY
Ten Days Work Believed Necessary to Repair
 Numerous Streets

It win take at least another ten days to repair the damage done to Waterbury's streets by the terrific rain and windstorm of Monday night, Supt. of Streets Thomas J. Fleming estimated this afternoon. Most of the damage from the floods which followed the near record rain- fall was to private property, he said, though some streets were dam aged.
 Most of the storm damage Suf- fered locally was to gutters, said MT. Fleming. Cutters on scores of streets were washed away entirely or partly. Washouts followed the storm on many streets, while on other streets sections of pavement were cracked or broken.
 Street department crews have been working steadily at repairing the storm damage, but there is a great deal of work still to be done, MT. Fleming said.
 Construction work underway on the part of the city and the WPA Wdo Uduly AlAV Uy CLAC oGOAAl. OCOIcS of ditches collapsed from the driv- ing rain, and work on several pro- jects has been set back several days.
 MT. Fleming this afternoon made an inspection trip to the Wigwam and Morris reservoirs. The road between the two it was reported to him, was badly washed out by the storm.
 An estimate of the city's loss from the storm is not yet possible, says MT. Fleming, but it will amount to a large sum.

 MAY HAVE EFFECT

BY H. c. BUURMAN


 Doorn, Jan. 27-CUP - Wilhelm Hohenzollern, 20 years ago war lord of imperial Germany, today celebrated his 79th birthday as a white bearded country gentleman.
 Princess Hermine, as she has done every year since she joined him IS years ago, was the first to congratulate him. The eX-kalser's S second wife is 29 years his junior.
 A year ago, Wilhelm spent his birthday with only his wife. Visi- tors were excluded on doctors advice The former emperor was then recovering from severe at tack of influenza which kept him in bed for three weeks.
 Health Better Than in 1857
 Today, however, his health is good and there were several guests at the castle. Each day of the new year has seen Wilhelm at his desk in the mornings dealing with cor respondence. In the afternoons he devotes several hours to scientific studies.
 He still keeps up the wood cut ting for which his postwar years became famous.
 He spends about two hours & day felling trees and saving them into firelogs. He has exhausted all the timber available on his own estate and now motors over to the extensive forests of his friend, Count Godart Bentinck of Amer ongen, who lets Wilhelm cut and saw wood to his hearts content in the vast forest surrounding his castle.
 It was Count Bennick who of fered hospitality to the fallen monarch ill November, 1918, when Wilhelm fled from Germany. The Bentincks are one of the oldest and nobelst families of Holland. One branch lives ill Germany, an- other branch-the Dukes of Port land-has it's seat in England.

To facilitate the management he has business office in Berlin, in charge of Baron Von Sell.
 Wilhelm still is strict ill his habits. He never indulges in heavy or rich food. At luncheon and dianer he drinks only one glass of red wine. He does not smoke. He goes to bed early and arises early. He is punctual in his schedule and ho expects the same punctuality from all members of his house. hold.

Your Income Tax

Returns are required of every single person who for the year had 8 gross income of $5,000 or more or a net income of $1,000 or more and of every husband and wife living together who for the year 1887 had an aggregate gross income of $5,000 or more or an aggregate net income of $2,500 or more. Widowers, widows, divorcees, and married persons separated by mutual consent are clasSed as single persons. The personal ex- emptions are $1,000 for single persons and $2,500 for married persons living together and for heads of families.
 Husband and wife living to- gether at the close of the taxable year may include their income in a single point return or make separate returns of the income of each. If separate returns are filed, one may not report in- come which belongs to the other, but must report only the income which actually belongs to him. If joint return is filed, such re- turn is treated as taxable unit, and the income disclosed is sub ject to both the normal tax and the surtax.
 In order for return to be claS- sified as joint return of husband and wife both spouses must have had some income or deductions in the year for which the return is filed, and the return must tn- clude the income and deductions of both spcuses.
 If a joint return is not made by an agent of the taxpayers it must be signed by both husband and wife and sworn to before a proper officer by the spouse pre- pairing the return, or if neither or both prepare the return then by both spollses.
 Where separate returns are filed by husband and wife, the joint personal exemption of $2,5O0 may be taken by either or divided be- tween them in any proportion as agreed upon.
 In fling joint return husband and wife compute the earned in- come credit in the same manner as in filing separate returns. If taxpayers net income is not more than 5000, the entire net in- come is considered to be earned net income.
 Husband and wife may elect each year whether to file a joint return or separate returns. Where, however, joint or separate returns have been fled for a particular year, neither husband nor wife may after the due date of the re- turn file an amended return or returns on a different basis for that year.
