Nine Year Tax Survey
 Discussed By Board
New York Auditing Firm Makes Preliminary Check of
 Payments Question of Expense Considered

Consideration of the proposed nine-year audit of records of the tax collectors office occupied much of the time of the meeting yesterday of the board of finance with Commis- sioner Major w. Judge presenting representatives of two accounting firms which will prepare estimates of cost of the work.
 Local representatives of the na- tional accounting firm of Barrow, Wade, Guthrie & Co.,, and of Hard man & Cranston, of New York, att tended the meeting and were au- thorized to make a brief survey of the tax collectors office in order to determine estimates on the work. A communication from Griffenhagen & Associates was received about the same proposal.
 Fund Tapped
 Commissioner Judge warned that the boards contingency fund al- ready has been tapped seriously by unexpected expenditures and further cost is anticipated for the projected referendum on change of charter and possible use of voting machines in impending primaries.
 A committee comprising Commis- sioners Harley w. Tripp and John A. Hayden with Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland was named by Alder manic President Patrick M. Per- riello, presiding in absence of Mayor Frank Hayes, to consider calling of $70,000 balance of Center school dis trict bonds so that better interest rate may be obtained.
 A bill devised by Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson and destined for hearing later in the General Assembly calls for the re- funding so that the 4 per cent in- terest rate may be reduced in new issue. The bonds date to 1897 and are the only city bonds which can be called before maturity, 1946.
 Plank Road
 Communication from the board of works relating to request for grading of Plank road by Harry O'Buck, of II Plank road, at estimated cost of $4,500 was referred to the corpora ton counsel. The works board re- ported the estimated cost of protect ing Plank road property from flood- ing on figures submitted by City En- gineer Charles A. Root and Super intendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming, with notation that the board had no money for the job.
 Commissioner Judge remarked that the finance board also is with out specific funds for such an enter prise and Aldermanic President Per- riello asked whether some tempo rary repair might not be arranged, commenting that the works board appeared to be passing the buck" on the O'Buck matter.
 Alderman Perriello was appointed to confer with the street superin- tendent on work of repairing city property at the Baldwin street

be maintained through this year, $8,537.75 had been contributed up to last night.
 Met Emergency
 Ending last, year with a deficit and forced to exhaust capital funds during 1888 in order to meet the emergency of thousands of extra cases committed to care of its nurses, the association is in dire financial straits.
 Although the public has respond ed to the appeal, majority of the new contributions are from persons grateful through actual contact with ths service of the Visiting Nurse; fr0m persons who have been helped in times of stress and who have strained their resources to make re- turn in thankfulness for that care which could come from no other source.
 The work of the Visiting Nurse association, with its IS nurses cov- erlng every section of the city every day of the year, has been lauded by representative citizens in all walks of community life during the tenure of the campaign, Appeal has been made that the public give gen. erously so that health of Waterbury citizens, young and old, may con- tinue to have safeguard which the Visiting Nurse association alone pro- vides; care in homes which other wise would be without; training of the young and help to expectant mothers, to mothers with newborn babies; general program for the

welfare of all who live in Water bury.
 Fear Curtailment
 One and another of those com- mending to the public support of the Visiting Nurse association has re- marked that the service of the Visit. ing Nurse is of such practical value to the community curtailment would be dangerous. Cutting of the staff of the association can mean that Waterbury would be seriously men, aced should an epidemic of some contagious ailment occur.
 Training and care of mothers and infants with the concurrent safe- guarding of their health means that good citizens are assured, it was re- marked. Further, the cost for un- healthy children and bad citizens is the greatest tax in the country today, translated into the cost of crime, one speaker poined out.
 The visiting Nurse association needs several thousand dollars more in order to maintain its compre- hensive service to public health. Contributions brought or sent to the Visiting Nurse Home, 37 Central avenue, or to The Waterbury Dem- ocrat, will be acknowledged in The Democrat, unless the donor ex- presses desire that the name be withheld
 Public statements were issued to- day by Attorney Nathaniel R. Bron- son, dean of the Waterbury Bar asso- ciation; John A. Coe, president of the American Brass Co.,; Frederick s. Chase and Mrs. Frederick A.

 Transfer of $75 to the office of Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin to allow installation of lights in the vault was approved, the sum to de- rive from the city halls repair fund.
 The board adjourned until 4 o. clock next Thursday. Present were: Aldermanic President Perriello, Commissioners Judge; Hayden, Tripp, Edward J. Fitzgerald and Charles B. Jackson, with Charles c.

under direction of the finance board to take immediate steps to collect the delinquent amounts. The city must pay $135, ,000 to the state of the amount collected from the Old Age Assistance Tax, estimated at about $168,000 due at the $3 rate. Inasmuch as about 15,00O or 16,000 persons liable to the tax apparently
 had made no payments today, the tax collector remarked that the next step is to send out warrants for delinquents. This can mean that
 the costs of the tax will be added to by about $7 in fee charges for
 the warrants, making the delinquents
 liable for $11, unless the $4 is paid
 shortly.
 A number of persons arrived at City Hall last night after 5:30 o'clock and sought to pay the tax.
 They were informed by an employe that they could save the better
 part of a dollar" by procuring a
 money order and getting it into the mail before midnight, thus paying their tax within the $3 deadline.

MISS ERIKA HOFRICHTER
 Miss Erika Hofrichter, visiting nurse, has as her section the con- gested Brooklyn area. Traffic here is very heavy and housing is far from adequate. Leonard and Charles St. school yards are used as playgrounds for these children. Much of the social life centers around the Brooklyn branch of the YMCA. Many families here are on relief or WPA. They are largely of Italian and Lithuanian extraction.
 The Visiting Nurse association is presently appealing to the pub lie to subscribe to its fund for $16,O00 to carry on it's splendid work. Only half of the desired amount has been donated. Unless more generous donations are re- ceived, it will be found imperative to curtail the service. Have you shown your appreciation yet?

port of the Visiting Nurse associa- tion. He will be heard over station VERY tonight at 7:15 o'clock. He feels that Waterbury has always re- sponded generously when a distress signal warns of the danger ahead. MT. Templeton said: "It is unthink- able that the people of this city would permit the curtailment of our visiting nurse service, which even now is hardly adequate to meet the demands made upon it. The associa- tion's request for $16,000 IS based upon very carefully prepared bud- get in which every dollar is spent for health protection and the care of the sick. Furthermore, all money collected by the association IS spent in Waterbury. Every nurse on the local staff is a walking insurance policy for the children of our city, and we want to keep that policy in force"
