Stability Foreseen
 In Property Taxes
Stable Source of evenue for Communities Expected
 By Experts Even in Post War Period

Boston, July 31-(Special)-As an offset to shrinking revenues from gas taxes and automobile registra- ton fees, New England can expect property taxes to remain a rela- lively stable source of tax revenue, according to Albert E. Noelte, chairman of the Community De- velopment Committee of the New England Council, which recently conducted a round table attended by tax experts from all New England states.
 In spite of changes caused in the use of property by restrictions on civilian goods and services in many areas, the effect of the war produc- tion program as a whole will be to increase both valuations and the ability of owners to pay the tax assessments, MT. Noelte said. He visualized the real estate tax as a continued principal source of local community revenue and predicted in- creased returns for war years and the period immediately following the end of hostilities.
 The reduction in collections from state gasoline taxes and automo- bile registrations will directly af- feet the cities and towns which re- ceive state funds for highway work and unemployment aid This loss, alone, may more than offset any future gains materializing from property tax increases.
 In war production areas, where rent control is in effect, MT. Noelte reported, real estate tax returns will achieve a high degree of stabil- ity. Demand for housing will in- crease the permanence of rentals, and dwellings will become more sal able at higher prices.
 The property tax picture itself will be subject to considerable change as the effect of the war pro- gram on civilian activities is felt. Vacancies may be expected in property occupied by specially stores, and branch stores may be closed to increase the effiiency of larger central units. To offset these

Ten Yard Margin Preserves Derby's 'DeathIess' Record

The death Tuesday of Q pedes- trian who was struck by an auto mobile Monday night on the Derby Shelton bridge ended an eight-day "deathless day" period for the State of Connecticut. The longest deathless period this year was nine days.
 For the second time since March, 1941, an automobile fatality has occurred on the Derby Shelton bridge, but not on the Derby side. Derby has not had an automobile fatality for more than four and one-half years, since December 24, 1887, a record unique in the state for town of its size and most unusual throughout the country.
 The pedestrian struck Monday night was Mrs. Olga Wajdowicz. 62, of Shelton. On March 29, 1941, also after dark, a 60-year old man, Herbert w. Mcintyre, was struck and killed while walking on the bridge. The accident re- portedly occurred from 30 to 100 feet from the Derby line.
 The longest deathless period last year was nine days also. During the two previous years, 1940 and 1889, Connecticut did not record more than six days without 8 fatal automobile accident.

SPECIAL MOTOR
 FOR SUB-CHASER IN PRODUCTION
By WILLIAM MeMENAAfIN Limited Press Stan COFEespendent

NCA@AN~NA ACN@ 8NNeA WI AANHlF0AAAsEAahl
 Chicago, July 3l.-CUP)-A revo- lutionary new light weight, high powered diesel motor built by the Electro-Mo division of General Motors at its La Grange Plant is in mass production to power the navys latest submarine chaSers, the manufacturer revealed.
 The navy concealed details of the motor for many months but finally permitted the company to disclose few facts. The motor is expected to provide at least part of the answer to the convoy prob- lem and the high rate of ship sink ings.
 The engine materially adds to cruising radius, speed and maneu- verab!lity of the sub-chasers.
 New Propeller Feature
 Among other new features 1t has a variable pitch marine propeller. It is possible to reverse the dirc- ton of the craft without reversing the engine by means of a device which reverses the propeller shaft
 The sub-chaser equipped with the new motor can stop Ion dime" and maneuver with great ease. The variable pitch propeller permits speed of the craft be increased or slowed without changing speed of the motor.
 Marine experts call the new mo- tor a "pancake" and praise 1t as the nghtest ocean-duty diesel in the world. The construction is ex- ceptionally fiat and includes four banks of four cylinders each To- cated around vertical crankshaft.
 Occupies Less Space
 The new motor takes up about one- third the space of previous dicsels of the same horsepower. This permits higher speeds, storing of more fuel and longer cruising ranges. More armamentS and munitions can be carried.
 Gasoline engineers are expected to be replaced extensively by the new diesels, thus decreasing fire haz- ards.
 Scientists of the General Motors research laboratories under Charles Ketterings, president. develop ed the motor and reversible variable pitch propeller at the request of the navy.
 A year ago Electro-Motive took over the task of building the new motor and by last May had built a plant and met tthe navys require mentS.

WALKER SERVES
 ADVANCE NOTICE
Alderman Plans to Cues. ton Payment of $4,OOO
 for Machine Rental

Alderman Burton H. Walker will oppose payment of $4,000 to Bar row, Wade & Guthrie for rental of machines owned by International Business Machines Co. on the ground that 1t is violation of the city charter. He contends that the payment Is outlawed by Section 83 of the charter, which bans pay ments in excess of appropriations or the spending of money which has not been specifically appro- priated.
 MT. Walker Republican leader on the aldermanic board, will raise his objections at meeting of the board Monday night. The payment has already been voted by the board of finance.
 Said the alderman:
 There is something very pecu- liar about this whole scheme. For instance understand the account ing firm is very close to the local office of the International Business Machine Co. think 1t is peculiar that one official of the city gov- ernment is pushing the deal so en- Enthusiastically while others seem . little afraid or doubtful. I noticed that the mayor seemed a little irritated when 1t was first proposed at the finance board meeting, ask ing why the proposition was not put up to the board when 1t was making up the budget last year. And noticed that Aldermanic Pres. John s. Monagan at the last finance board meeting seemed to expect lot of opposition to the deal at the next aldermanic meet ing, as he was asking Budget Di- rector Olsen many questions so that he would have the answers to give to any questioners at the al- dermanic meting. It looked to me as though Controller Conlon also, wasn't too enthsuiastic about the deal. Incidentally. I think Al derman Gerardi, one of the Re- publican members of the board oi finance, is open to criticism be. cause of his vote on the dnnnc' board approving the deal"

losses, however, there will be addi- tions to industrial properties and increases in the occupancy of office buildings. Agricultural properties also show possibilities of providing increased tax revenue as farm in- come rises and repairs and addi- tions are made to existing proper ties.
 MT. Noelte anticipated several years of stability after the war period, with the demand for new materials at home and abroad keep ing industrial properties occupied. More property will become taxable as federally-owned plants are trans ferred to private ownership, and properties now devalued, such as gasoline stations and roadside stands, will become productive of increased revenue when gasoline and tire shortages are ended.
