Income Tax
No. %
INCOME CONSTRUCTIVELY

Income which becomes the prop
erty of a person during the taxable
year should be included in his gross
income even though he does not
have physical possession of it. This
occurs where income is uncondi-
tionally credited to his account or
set apart subject to his order at
any time, and such income is said
to have been constructively re-
ceived.
If, under an agreement, a tax
payers debt is paid for his bene-
fit by another, the effect is the
same as if the money had been
paid to the taxpayer and he had
transmitted it to his creditor. 1t
often happens that taxpayer who
owns property agrees that the in
come from such property shall be
paid to a third party, or he may
contract to perform services for a
second party, and it is agreed that
the compensation shall be paid to a
third party. In each case the
amount paid to the third party a..
the taxpayers order is taxable to
the taxpayer as corstructively re-
ceived income.
Where interest coupons have ma
tured and are poyoble, such inter-
est, though not yet collected, is tc
be included in gross income of the
owner of the coupons for the year
during which the coupons mature,
unless it can be shown that there
are no funds available for payment
of the interest during that year.
Interest credited on a savings
bank deposit is income to the de-
pcsitor when credited. Interest or
dividends credited Internationally
to shareholders OF building and
loan association are taxable in
come of the shareholder for the
year of the credit. If. however, the
amount of such credits cannot be
drawn by the shareholder until the
maturity of the share in a future
year, then it is not income to him
during the year of the credit.
Income received for taxpayer
by his agent, such as rental pay
ments is taxable income to the tax
payer for the year of its receipt
by the agent.

ty talks throughout the year to their
pupils, the report indicated.
There were II children injured
during 1941, as against 100 for the
year 1910.
Out of the IT, one was a fatality
A fact pointed out in the report
shows that Sc children were injured
during daylight hours while 20 were
hurt after dark. Despite the fact
that the higher number of accidents
occurred during daylight, a total OF
70 happened in clear weather, while
only six were injured during stormy
days
While Waterbury's child accidents
took a dip, trends throughout the
country swung upward, and a % pei
cent increase was noted.
The statistics point out that eight
of the accidents in which the chill
dren were involved, occurred while
they were coming from school, and
the remainder, So, occurred during
the free time of children away from
school. Children playing in streets
or at crossings were among the
greater number injured, IS being
hurt, while second on the list were
youngsters on bicycles with II in
jured. There was one sliding ac-
cident for 1941, as against II for the
preceding year. Accidents for 1871
fell into these three categories, with
no listing for hitching rides in tbs
report. The year prior, there were
three children injured hitching
rides.
Boys, with their perennial eXuber-
ance, proved to be more impulsive
than their sisters, the report con-
tinues, and were involved in a total
of 81 accidents as compared to only
rs girls hurt. While there is a de-
crease in boy accidents, an increase
Of six for 1941 is noted in girls in
jured.
The report draws attention to the
greatly reduced number of child ia
talities, noting 81 per cent reduc-
ton for 1941. And this success was
accomplished by the school teachers
in training children in highway safe.

LYNDA Grey
TO WE'D soon
Recent Addition to Films
to Become Mrs. Eddie
bowling June Fl

Almost as much of a thriller as
some OF the movies in which she has
played is the inside story of the
visit of the movie and stage star,
Lynda Gray, to bid her brother
Howard Grey, Il, farewell before he
left with other inductees for the u.
S. Army Friday morning.
Miss Grey, who had flown from
California to see her brother, al
most missed him through series OF
unusual circumstances, she told The
Democrat today. Before she left she
had received word from her family
that Howard did not expect to leave
for the army until early i'll Febru-
airy.
Miss Grey left California Sunday
| by plane and arrived in New York
City Tuesday. She planned to leave
i early Thursday TO como to Water
bury but missed her train and in
stead she went to visit her sister,
Mrs. Ruth Lamson in Westport, still
thinking that her brother would not
be indicted until sometime next
week.
She telegraphed her family as to
her arrival in Westport to let them
know she was there and late Thurs
Gay night she received word from
them that her brother was leaving
early Friday. ut was very difficult
to make train or bus connections
from Westport 50 we had to get up
at 4::30 to leave in time to meet
Howard, but it certainly was worth
it,, the screen star said smilingly
But I'll never forget how I nearly
missed him. she added.
She will leave soon to return to
Hollywood. where her option with
Paramount was recently renewed,
she said.
To Be Married
Miss Grey told The Democrat she
will be married June 81 to Eddie
Bowling, producer of Sons of Fun.
She said that she and Mr.. Bowling
were together on the plane that left
California Sunday and there were
rumors they would e!ope. 1--WE did
think of that" she said smilingly
"but we both are idealistS and we
want a church wedding" She indi-
Gated she may be married in Santa
Barbara, where Gloria Vanderbilt's
wedding took place recently.
Miss Grey said Rosalind Russell
told her recently she plans to visit
Waterbury soon. Miss Grey recently
played in the picture, Take A Let
ter, Darling" in which Miss Russell
is starred, sch said. This has not
yet been released.
Howard is not the first of her
brothers to go into the army. She
has brother, Alphonse, who is in
the medical corps and is stationed
at Fort Edwards, Mass.
Miss Grey, we'll known here and in
Naugatuck as 'Tillie" said she was
glad to be back home for she was
terribly lonesome. Her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Anthony Grey, live at SIT
Riverside street in Waterbury.

BOOK COLLECTION
STILL GOING ON
Almost 10000 Volumes
on Hand in Library for
Army Centers

Members OF the Silas Bronson
library staff and volunteer workers
are still engaged In collecting the
stray volumes about the city which
somehow escaped the house-to- house
canvass of books a week ago.
The number of books stacked ir.
the library basement continues to
grow with the arrival of these furth-
er donations, and is now well on its
way to 10000 assorted volumes. Ar
rival at the library of the books
gathered by campaign workers in
Wolcott has further augmented the
hoard of reading for the service
men.
Another full month remains, how
ever, before the official close of the
nationwide campaign for 10000, 900
books for the men in the country S
fighting forces, and drive members
hope that WaterburianS will keep
their contributions coming in until
the first of March.
To insure collection of ones books,
1t is only necessary to call the IL
brary, 3-3189, and ask that a car be
sent out for them. Fifty such calls
were answered on a single day this
past week, and the results consider
ably supplemented the stacks of books
already amassed during the house
| toulouse collection.
Members of the drive committee
in Waterbury, headed by Miss Enc
Ign Barrett, librarian, and co-chair-
man of the campaign throughout
Connecticut, hope that this city will
again lead the way in the book cam
paign, as was the case in 1917. Per-
sons who have not yet made their
contributions can help by calling the
library at their earliest convenience

p. m. TO work on program alleviat-
ing Waterbury's housing shortage
and to prepare recommendations for
a statewide meeting on housing to
be held at Hartford Wednesday
under the auspices of the State De-
Tense Council. The meeting today
was called by Mayor Vincent A.
Scully, who has also promised TO re-
vive the defunct Waterbury Hous-
ing Authority.
Three hundred defense rousing
units have been constructed here by
the federal government but, accord
ing to Housing Manager David T.
McGrath, at least another 300 could
be easily used. He has suggested
that early steps be taken by the city
to secure additional federal housing

available. Rents are snapped up as
soon as they are vacant. There are

At present there Is considerable
discussion in the city in regard tc
the projected construction Of addi-
tional homes for Waterbury's de-
Tense workers, on the theory tls
employment here will continue Il
rise in coming months, and that ii
expensive government accommod&
tons would be a great boon TO this
influx Of factory employees.
Should the construction Of more
homes be decided upon-and t,is.
cussions on the subject are to bs
held in the near future between fec.
eral authorities and the leading To-
cal Misunderstanding government
has decided that the new projects
would be on a smaller scale than
those now nearing completion here
Present federal plans call for the
erection Of projects of 20 or 81
homes wherever the need fer gov
eminent units is felt, instead of set
Elements as large as Warner Gar

additional units will be built in this
city depends upon the attitude taken
by Waterbury's industrial magrates
