Tax Collections For l94l Likely toSet New Record

Payments on the second install- 1s1ent of taxes due this year were pouring into the OfIlce of Tax Col. lectOr Humbert Mangini today, though the installment became due only yesterday. Collections since January 1 are now esti- mated At over 90 per cent of the total tax levy for the year.
 The last official figures avail- able, which cover the period from the beginning of the year tO Sep- tember 90, show total receipts of N,164, ,9904.06, or 7S.07 per cent of the entire amount of taxes due this year. The full levy is $S,27a. 7Oe.
 The rush of payments tends tO bear out MT. Manginis prediction that SS per cent Of the taxes due this yeas will have been paid by November 1, the last day for pay. naent of the second inStallment without penalty. He expects that the collection record of 06.A per cent, set In 104O, will be broken by the end oR the current year.
 If collections for 10Al should reach the % per cent mark, the the sum of over $26O,OOO would be available toward . city surplus for the year, since Che budget estimate of tax collections is only 92 per cent. The total 1041 surplus will bo further swelled by savings in . number of departmental apprO- pr1ations and by revenue larger than expected from miscellaneous sources.

Benefits Expected By
 State Milk Producers
Milk Marketing Order Effective Yesterday -EncOur.
 agement Found in Study of Provisions

A preliminary study of the milk marketing order which became ef. fective yesterday shows that "all producers will benefit to some extent and some will benefit very substan. tially," Robert s. Clark of Wood- bury, presidnt of the Connecticut Wholesale Milk Producers Council, said in 6 statement today. He an. nounced that council will make Q detailed study of the marketing or. der.
 MT. Clark urged all producers to cooperate with MIX Administrator Donald o. Hammerberg.
 The council heads statement fol. lows:
 Many of the wholesale milk pro- ducers of Connecticut were dlSap- pointed in the terms of the new order, particularly as 1t failed to provide a substantial increase in the fluid milk price. Our preliminary study of the order discioees, how. ever, that all products should bene- At to some extent, and some will benefit very substantially from It's provisions.
 "Milk Administrator Donald O. Hammerberg has promised better enforcement, and If he is successful in this effort, producers should find improvement in payment for but terfat premiums. Terms of the new order require payment in Glass l for all milk purchased where deal- CTS do not have adequate records and producers who regularly supply dealers will come ahead of casual suppliers, all of which should i'm. prove the producers position. Cream prices, of course, have been increas- ed. In addition, the administrator can proceed promptly against deal. CTS who become in arrears on their producer payments.
 "The council urges all wholesale producers to cooperate with the administrator in requiring strict compliance with the order, and re. quests producers to inform either the administrator or one of the council members from their county promptly of any failure on the part of their dealer to comply with the terms of the order.
 Public announcement by the ad- ministrator of prices in each milk pool will enable every producer to know just what he should get for his milk, for the first time provid. ing this information from an i'm. partial source, so far as many pro- ducers are concerned"

 The strike, unauthorized by the trluck drivers' union, was called several days ago and was charac- terized as an abortive attempt by organizers to gain control of the union.
 I7he end of the walkout came as Sidney Cornelius, manager of the Hartford County Manufacturers as- sociation, said he favored Q declara- ton from the governor to condemn ''outlaw" strikes which threaten delivery of defense materials.
