Tax Collector Mangini Ex- poets to Set Record of
 97 Per Cent

Tax payments are running four per cent ahead of last year, when an all-tine record for collections was set, Tax Collector Humbert Man gini disclosed today. Collections so far this year amount to 86 per cent of the total tax levy, and with well over two months remaining MT. Mangini expects collections to reach over 97 per cent of the levy.
 Payments on the second install ment of taxes, from October l to October 21, totalled $358, ,403.71. Dur ing the same three weeks last year collections amounted to $311 PAT .63
 Collections from January l to Oc- tober q totalled $4,545 ,397.20 This sum, equalling 86 per cent of the to- tai levy of $5,273,708.32, compare: with 8 record of 82 per cent collec. tions at this time 8 year ago.
 During the calendar year 1940, ta1 collections amounted to 96.24 pei cent of the levy, the best record ir the city's history. The rate of pay ments this year makes it almost cer- tain that the record will be surpass- ed.
 Large collections are expected be- tween now and November l, the last date on which the second install ment of l94l taxes can be paid with out penalty. It is expected that less than 10 per cent of the years taxes will remain to be paid after Novem- Der l.

ARMY ISSUES CALL FOR l643 NURSES
Opportunities for Young Women Trained for Jobs;
 50 Needed at Devens

Julia o. F1ikee, Major, United States Army Nurse Corps, Wash- ington, D. O., in communication addressed to Captain Ruth I. Tay- Tor, A. N. c. office of the Sur- geon, Headquarters, First Corps Area, Boston Army Base, states that 1643 nurses are needed in the United States army now. This estimate is based on a quota of 8,237 nurses allowing 120 nurses to each 1000 beds, or 5 per cent of an army of l,418,OO0 men. These figures must necessarily fuctuate but 1t is cer- tain that any revision trend will be upwards.
 These positions are permanent and offer many distinct advantageS which must appeal to young wo- men anxious to both serve their country and be assured of a cer- tain living. As usual with the initial enlistment period of the soldier selectees, nurses were orig inally assigned to army duty in the First, Fourth and Ninth Corps Area for a definite period of one year. Under present conditions the majority prefer to continue on duty indefinitely rather than to plan for only a period of one year.
 The soldiers on duty under ab- normal conditions of weather and surroundings will require trained nursing care. These boys are fac- ling their duty brayely and will be more contented, knowing that the young women of the nation are right behind them every step of the way.
 Enlisting as a nurse in the regu- lar Army or Reserve Corps, is not only & patriotic duty but also a means of becoming part of pro- fessicn, without which no army can exist.
 Captain Taylor says that 50 nurses are needed NOW for the Lowell General hospital at Fort Devens, Massachusetts,

Tom Co11lon Says

ExCerpLS 1TOm O1Cy NOutGOAAS1 Thomas M. Conlon's radio address heard at 6:45 last night from
 "Not having been atcive in politi- cal life, nor having held public office before, can speak with authority only on the conduct of our affairs for the past year and three quarters ...
 Except for the large amount of money involved, running into mill lions of dollars, the finances of 8 city are much the same as the finances of a family or 9 small business. Of course, there are special bookkeeping methods and special restrictions governed by charter, but the principle is still very much the same ....
 "A city, just like an individual will find itself in difficulty if 1t un- derestimates the amount which Il will need to spend =.
 ''In 1889 Mayor SculIy said, and quote from his speech made at that time: First, do without what you cannot afford; ?, exercise economy in your purchases of all necessary goods and services; 3, handle. your financing intelligent ly. Don't borrow except on basis whicIG permits you to pay without getting into trouble.' ....
 T can tell you that the policies announced by Mayor Scully at the start of his administration have been continued in this year as they were in 1940 ...
 'The financial report at the end of this year will again make very interesting reading ....
 '"The policy of spending less than we take in is still the only thing that will mean lowered taxes and civic improvements ....
 'sNOw, of course, MT. PerriellO did not really mean that his efforts in four months saved the city $792,OOO and that this $792,O00 was distributed-$4OO,O 900 to. the tax payers, $32O,00O to city employees, and $72,00O to the Scully adminis- trati0n as contribution for 194O expenses. Such 8 claim would be ridiculous ...
 Actually the budget for 1940 pre- pared by MT. Portfolios administra- ton shows this item-deficit from 1889 operations $l30,00O. There is an item of $200,O00 transferred from the Surplus Resource Sinking Fund that wipes out this actual operating deficit and is the basis for the claim of g $72,oo0 surplus made by MT Perriello ...
 "This is the only surplus claimed. The other $72O.00O con- slsts of tax cut and a pay raise placed In the budget prepared for the first year of Mayor Scully's administration. MT. Perriello did not pay the wage increase nor did he provide the funds to pay it ...
 MT. Perriello, in reality, is stating only that he set a hard task for the incoming administration ..
 'Tn other words what MT. Per- riellO claimed to have accom- plished at the end of 1889, but did not accomplish, Mayor Scully's ad- ministration actually did in 194O ...s
 "If you as voter don't like the kind of administration that you have received from Mayor Scully you should vote against him. If you dc like it you should not permit your self to be mislead into voting against your own best interest. ="

Workers { concentrate
 Efforts on Warner St.
 Site To Finish Task
Water Connections Now Underway; Gas Lines to Be Installed Within Next Ten Days; Sewers
 Present Problem

While 4oO applicants for homes in the federal housing projects ct Warner Gardens and Hamilton Heigllts await the long expected opening of the 300 units, Work con- tinues to progress without any definite date for their occupancy be- ing set.
 The efforts of the engineers and contractors employed in the project are being largely concentrated at the Warner street site, in an att tempt to complete the work there at the earliest possible date. Yester- day the water line at that location was tested and found satisfactory and the installation of the connect ing lines to the individual houses should start" today or tomorrow, 1t was learned. Completion of this task is expected before the end of the month.
 Electric connections at Warner Gardens are also being made this week. As soon as the trenches car- rying the newly connected water pipes have been filled in, new ditch- es will be dug for the installation of the gas line, the last of the utilities at the project.
 Sewers at the Long Hill road site are connected at the houses, but the connection to the city's sewer system awaits settlement of the dispute between the municipality and the federal government, now being carried on directly from Wash- angton. The city insists that the government pay assessments of $22,- GOO at the two sites before sewers gre connected, and the federal au- thorities assert that they have no power to make such 8 payment. If Sn amicable agreement cannot be reached, the government may in- Stitute condemnation proceedings

Congratulations Soon

The announcement that Naugatuck's s beloved pastor, Monsignor John J. Fitz- gerald, will celebrate his 55th anniver- sary of ordination next month fills every one In this section of the valley with joy. We can recall the golden jubilee of Mon- sinor Fitzgerald five years ago. It is good that God has spared him to be with us for another memorable occasion such as he will celebrate with the true humility that Is his in June.
 The duties of pastor in the busy Hart ford diocese are such that few of them live to see their 50th anniversary. Prior to that anniversaries are little different than other events in the lives of most of them. They have multitude of duties to perform, countless parishioners to shepherd Theirs is not life that can be spent in rest and relaxation. So 1t is when a venerable member cf the cloth approaches such an anniversary friends and parishioners may be permitted great rejoicing and extending of congratula- tions.

Uncle Sam, Ferryboatman

Some people were very much worried recently when the U. s. Army took over number of passenger vessels to convert into transports. This, said the wise ones, means an expeditionary force. But not necessarily. When you realize that the United States is now building or maintain ing military posts and bases in Alaska, Hawaii, Panama, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Cuba, Newfoundland, Green land, and dozen other far-flung scattered places for from the mainland, 1t becomes clear that a considerable ferry service is going to be needed all the time to keep these places supplied and to make con- tinual changes, endorsements, and shifts of troops.
 You don't have to think in terms of war at all to see that an establishment of this size and dispersion needs quite fleet at all times, and that Uncle Sam has become ferryboatman on gigantic scale.
