terms of the contract, hte gym will be completed and ready for use within the next six months.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully appeared before the special meeting of the board to announce that funds in the amount of $67, 7,000 are now avail- able. Originally the city set aside $5O,000 for the project, but when bids for the east end gym were pulp licly opened two weeks ago, it was discovered that the lowest estimate was approximately $l4,000 more than the original grant.
 Club Responsible
 Last week the schoolhouse com mittee of the board voted to ask for additional funds of $l7,000, to cover the additional contract estimate and in addition pay for architectural fees and power and light charges.
 In large measure, credit for the successful conclusion of project must go to the East End Community Club, whose efforts on behalf of the gym have been untiring for the past three years. It was this group who first proposed and sponsorde the athletic unit more than three years ago.
 At last nights meeting, a delega- ton from the club appeared to ex- press the thanks of the club for the cooperation and efforts of the board. The spokesman added that when the gym is completed In October of this year, the East End club will be hosts to @ mammoth celebration In the gymnasium.
 It was further voted to return all checks to the unsuccessful bidders for the project (the city charter re- quires that all bids submitted be accompanied by check for ten cent of the estimate, to show good fatih).
 National Defense
 The board approved the granting of permission for 2 or 3 rooms in Crosby for National Defense pur- poses. The state board of education will use these classrooms for "re- fresher" courses, which was ex- plained as meaning that the govern- ment, in its efforts to acquire 30,000 airmen, seeks to offer high school graduates an opportunity to refresh themselves on high school work, in order that they may qualify for cadet training. The course will run three months, and because there are no available funds set aside by the government, students will be asked to pay a fee of $15, which will be used to pay the expenses of the training period.
 Comsr John J. Kearney objected to the proposal on the grounds that the project smacked of commer- cialism, but Supt. of Schools Thom- as J. Condon pointed out that the board was asked only for permission to use the rooms, and was not con- cerned with the management. Thereupon the motion to grant per- mission was made and accepted.

Edward Matus of the Colchester Barracks for a six months occupa- ticnal deferment was granted by his appeal board yesterday. Matus who resides in New Britain, is the second state trooper to win defer- ment.
 Yesterdya at Hartford the Army accepted 13 selectees including a man whose efforts to volunteer met with reversals until the set clement of an old estate removed the obstacle in his way.

Mayor Vincent A. gcully declared that the school was needed in an area as highly industrializea as that Of which Waterbury is the cen- ter. Even without the national de- fe1se program O trade school would serve . good purpose in Waterbury, he said, since 1t would afford op- portInities for job training to hum dfeds of young men and women.
 Program Praised

 Chairman Thomas P. Ashton of the board of education outlined to the committee the various purposes teo which the $500, GOO sought by the city would be allocated.
 Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superin- tendent of schools, said that train- ed workers are in great demand in waterbury, where plants have $40OO0,OOO in government orders and over $l0,000O00 in sub-con- contracts. Establishment of 6 Wa terbury trade school would afford valuable opportunities for training to young people, he said. He in- formed the committee that the Naugatuck school board has voted to back the Waterbury trade school. .
 William secor, of the Waterbury Farrel Foundry & Machine Co.,, said that his and other plants were having great dificulty" in getting young men to enter their training schools and that there is a serious shortage of skilled work CTS.
 Waiter Jarvis, of the Chase Ere q & Copper O.. said that his firm is badly in need of qualified apprentices. The factory does get some able young men from Leav- enworth high school, he said, but their numbers are few.
 Rep. William Bradley, of Beacon Falls, said that the school board and the people of his town were ia favor of the proposed school at Waterbury, believing 1t would fill . ,long-Selt need.

Collectors Views

In urging clarification OF the
spend and tax policies of govern
ment. Mark Eisner, former col
lector of internal revenue IN
New York, pointed out:
I'VE can reveal to the gaze
Of the American public the
maze of conflicting taxes, the
complex pattern of barrier taxes,
the disastrous unecnnnmie- taxes,
the slovenly administrative proc
esses of some taxing agencies,
the unscientific tax legislation.
and by what processes of log
rolling maneuvers taxes get
themselves enacted. There is
vast realm of necessary and in
dispensable normal taxes, by
which l mean regular taxes
which cannot be avoided and
which should he made known to
the ordinary taxpayer. To this
end I hope we shall soon set up
some machinery TO come into
closer contact with the large
masses of people in order to fix
in their minds the often hateful
and resented tax symbols as
symbols of patriotic partiCipa-
ton in our democratic commu-
nifty"
