Annual Message toBe Given To Aldermen
 At Meeting Tonight
One Group to Survey Housing Needs of City; Another to Investigate Water Rents-Department Re-
 ports Also Due Tonight

Plans for the appointment of several special commissions includ- ing one to survey housing needs in the city and another to consider changes in the water rent system, will be announced by Mayor Vim cent A. Scully in his annual message to the board of aldermen tonight The mayor does not plan to read the message in preSon.
 Annual reports of city department heads will be forwarded to the board tonight by the mayor. Under the amended city charter, the may or's message and departmental re- ports must go to the aldermen at their first meeting in December.
 The Democrat reported last week Mayor Scully's plan to have a city commission study the water rent situation. The water bureau annual ly operates at large deficit, the shortage being made up arbitrarily assessing city departments large sums for water, the fire department alone paying almost $130,0OO. It has been pointed out that if water rents were adjusted so that the bureau were self-sustaining, substantial tax rate reduction would be possible since big amounts would not be charged to various departments for water. It will be the commissions job to decide whether the present system should be retained or new one adopted.

 T am hopeful that I will have many opportunities during the next two years to show my interest in and support of the valuable work you are doing"
 Governor Baldwin wrote:
 T am very glad again this year to lend all the support I can."
 Gratified over the prospect of an enthusiastic'ca campaign for funds in Connecticut in January, MT. Morgan declared:
 we at headquarters here have the highest regard for the generous response the people of Connecticut have made in the past, and we are confident that our chairman, MT. Smith will continue to receive full support. Our slogan, Help the Youngsters Around Your Own Cor ner' will be a happy one for the people of Connecticut for that state has always taken care of its own.
 What we need now is an army of volunteer workers who will join with MT. Smith and who will organize the state as it has never been organized before.
 When the raising of funds begins in January, we know that Connecti- cut united in tn is fight, will do its full part"

Labor and welfare groups have been urging a housing survey for some time, claiming that there are few vacancies in rentals. The hous- ing commission may lead to a re- newal of the Waterbury Housing Authority, appointed several years ago but which has been unable to function because lack of personnel and funds.

NetfIe Lake, Ohio, Scene of Mans
S'cim for Life in midst of
[ \Mid-Winter Storm

EFT on sinking "island" of
l. willow roots as his boat blew out
Of reach and disappeared in night
blizzard, Ralph Coll, of Montpelier,
Ohio, saved his life by plunging in
to the icy waters of Nettle Lake,
near his home, and swimming about
until he found his runaway craft.
Despite wind and driving snow,
Coll had put out at night in his
rowboat to run a trap line on the
lake, which is noted for it's depth
and treacherous shoreline. After
several hours he reached a mink
trap In a mattress of roots about
four feet in diameter. {
Coll stepped from his boat onto
the roots to remove a trapped ami
NAL, neglecting to make his anchor
rope fast. Slowly the mass of roots
began to sink. Coil turned to seize
the prov of his boat, but no boat
was there. AS the roots settled, the
boat had become disengaged and
the fierce off shore wind was car
rying 1t out Of sight in the swirl
ing snow.
"Fon. a moment" said Coll, II
weighed the three chances of living
,-or dying-which confronted me.
IL the island sank no lower and
Il manged to live through the
storm, help would reach me in the
horning-ten hours away. To try
10 reach shore involved even
greater risk. Between me and solid
ground was a wide area Of semi
liquid muck that could swallow a
man like quicksand.
