BANK MOVES TO AID PROPERTY OWNERS IN CITY
Wtby Savings Bank Lists Property Where Owners
 Fail to Do So

The Waterbury Savings Bank notified more than 200 property owners from whom 1t holds mortgages that il had taken care of listing their real estate with the board of tax commissioners during the month of June thereby saving them the 1C percent penalty which would have been assessed for fail lre to register. The bank says that this service, performed an nually, has saved the mortgagors many thousands of dollars.
 The letters, signed by Edwin s. Jones, assistant treasurer, notify mortgagors who failed to list their property, of the banks action.
 It is pointed out that a charge in the city charter will make the annual listing of real property unnecessary after this year.
 The text of the Waterbury Savings Banks letter follows:
 We checked property assess inents with the assessors last month and found that you had apparently overlooked the matter of listing your property for taxa tion in the month of June. We, therefore, as holder of the mort gage on your property, and under the right given to us by the State Statutes, took care of your listing and thus saved you the 10 per cent penalty which would have been charged you. This should relieve you of any worry which you may have had about the mat ter.
 The law has been changed for the coming year or years, and you vii hot be required to list your property in the future. For per- haps the last ten years we have taken time each year to chack with the Board of Assessors the properties on which we hold mort gages, both here in Waterbury and in nearbytowns. This checking has disclosed taht more than two hundred owners, out of something over five thousands mortgagors, have annually failed to list their property. We have saved these people many thousands of dollars by listing for them, and this service has been rendered by the bank without charge to any property owner.
 We are writing to advise you about your particular listing, and also thought you might be glad to know that presumably this Is the last year property owners will be required to list their property for taxation.
 Very truly yours,
 Waterbury Savings Bank,
 Edwin H. Jones,
 Assistant Treasurer.

MURPHY PLEADS
 FOR RENT HELP
Fireman, With Wife and Six Children, Still Sepa-
 rated From Family

Private Leonard B. Murphy sent request to the fire board at its meeting yesterday to seek in his be- half an apartment being erected by the federal defense housing units, pointing out that he considers the fire department one of the most important of all defense units be- cause. of its activities when ener- gencies arise.
 The board voted to ask the hous- ing unit authorities to consider his application for one of these apart ments. Private Murphy said in his letter he had advertised in the pa- pers, registered in rental agencies and was unsuccessful in finding a rent.
 Private Murphy pointed out he has been member of the fire de- partment for 19 years and was never presented before the board on any charges. His letter said he has a wife and six children and that re- gently they were evicted from a one- family house because of a sales transaction by owners of the house
 Since his eviction, Private Mur- phy has been separated from his family. Five of his children are 1iv- ing in separate places outside the city. Two, he wrote, attend high school while four attend public school.
 This method of living, the com munication pointed out, has been a heavy weekly expense and one which deprived him of his domestic life.
 The board was requested to rec- ommend to the housing authorities that he be given consideration.

Its situation was believed serious and some members of the crew were reported to have taken to lifeboats. Rescue opera tions would prove difficult because of high seas. The Kano Maru sent distress calls from point 20 miles off Tokusoshima island, south of Kagoshima prefecture.

had arrived at the age of 21 since last October l6, amounts to l3,4SS
 The length of time that may elapse between the past and the date when inductees will be re- leased in order to return home, is problematical. It will probably in- volve considerable detail work by local draft boards throughout the nation.
 It will be necessary to determine just who had arrived at the age of 28 prior to July of this year, and also to inform selective service head quarters in Washington as to these findings.
 Orders for release of the men will probably emanate ultimately from the national headquarters, and it may be some time before the ma- chinery for release can be properly set into motion.

"A new quarter million dollar
dividend to depositors In the
Citizens Savings Bank locmAd
todsy with the annodncemxnt
by Circuit Judge Neil =. Reid
that the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp'n., in washington,
has authorized q loan applica-
ton recently filed by Bernard
A. Kalahar, receiver for the de-
funct financial institution.
The payment, the court re-
vealed, will approximate 10 per
cent and should be available
within q three month period.
It will total slightly more than
$25e;000.
Since the bank closed its
doors in Nov. %, 1892, q total
of 1928, 5O9.70 has been re-
covered for Macomb county de-
positors. The new payment will
bring the payoh well above the
one million dollar mark.
SECURED BY ASSETS
This loan Is to be secured by
assets of the Receivership as list
ed in the application dated
February IS, l941. The pro-
ceeds of this loan together with
cash collected since the date Of
the application will be suffic-
lent to pay q 1917 dividend to
depositors.
PREVIOUS LOAN RETIRED
A previous loan obtained from
Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton in December, 1899, from
which Is per cent dividend was
paid has now been repaid in
full. Dividends paid by the
bank since IL closed November
70, 1892 are ~ follows: 20 per
cent paid December 23. 1894;
IS per cent paid December 6,
1899. The anticipated 10 per
cent dividend will make q total
recovery of IS per cent to de-
positors. This Is considerably
more than was anticipated at
the time the bank closed.
Sale of all the assets under
q proposed termination loan
early in the year 1899 would
have paid approximately IL per
cent to depositors. That loan
was rejected by Judge Reid.
