Construction of 140 more units of public housing in Waterbury is to be rushed so that they may be available before cold weather sets in, according to information given out by Cornelius F. Maloney, city controller and chairman of the War Housing committee, today.
 MT. Maloney stated that following the announcement from Washing ton earlier this week that the re- yised program on housing for the Waterbury area included 140 units similar to those now in existence at Long Hill and Hamilton avenue, Frank Robinson, site selector for the MIA, was assigned to Waterbury to confer with the housing committee and other city officials on a possible site for these new units.
 A month or more ago the com- mittee inspected the Hamilton ave- que site and members were more or less convinced that there was ample room for expansion there. However, MT. Robinson and Ebert J. Rich mond, architect for the units now being built at Long Hill, went over the ground on foot this week and after thorough check-up conclud-

The Board of Finance again failed to take further action at its meeting yesterday afternoon on a recent re- quest of the Board of Education for a transfer of $500 with which to have an appraisal of school build ings made, This request was made in June and at that time Mayor John s. Monagan named Commis- sioners Edward P. Egan, William V. Gerardi, and Controller Cornelius F. Maloney a subcommittee to in vestigate the possibilities of the same.
 The committee reported progress some time ago in that it had secured information that companies holding insurance on local school structures would furnish an appraisal of the same free of charge to the city However, such an appraisal would be of the building and not of its contents.
 The matter was not discussed formally yesterday by the board, but informally members preached the matter to the sub committee AS a result the committee plans to meet with Chairman Raymond F. Stone of the School Board shortly to discuss the appraisal and possibly work out plan whereby the same may be secured without any expense to the city.
 The board which was presided over by Aldermanic President Pat rick F. Shea in the absence of Mayor John s. Monagan, who was out of the city yesterday, also referred to Corporation Counsel Maurice T. Healey for investigation of a num- Der of street assessment claims by the city dating back as far as the time when the New Haven Road eliminated it's grade crossings through the city proper by elevating the roadbed.
 Records in the Corporation Coun- sells office and those of the City Controller fail to agree on such as- Sessments, being more than SPA, ,000 out of balance. Budget Director T. E. Olsen has been Investigating the city's claims for some months past now with the view of reconciling the two departmental accounts. He cited one claim of $16,100 against the New Haven Road, which apparently has been invalidated by court

ACTION PLANNED
 ON DEBENTURES
C.L.&P. Company to Make Redemption With Avail=
 able Funds, Securities

c. L. Campbell, President of The Connecticut Light and Power Com pany, announced today that the Company is calling for redemption on September q, 1943, all of its out standing 3h percent Debentures due September 1, 1856. Through the operatioli; of Hle sinking fund there has already been called for retire ment on September 1, 1943, $87,000 principal amount of these Deben- tureC. It is now planned to call on September 21, 1943, the outstanding balance--$6, ,951 ,000--of said Deben- lures.
 The redemption price of each $1,00O Debenture now being called vii. be $1,O40 whisn, together with accrued interest of SEA, will be payable at The Hartford -Connecti- cut Trust Company, Hartford, Con- necticut, on September 21, 1943.
 MT. Campbell stated that the company has 8 large amount of cash and securities on hand, and with the present inability to secure labor and material to proceed with ChUCA1oiOAAo 1A1l dOCAC1Ollo UO lto PlO- perty, there seemed to be lttle op- portunity for some time to come to use the money for the purpose for which it had been originally raised. It seemed prudent, therefore, in the judgment of the directors to use this money now to pay off the deben- lures.
 This will reduce the interest charges of the company and further improve its present strong position. After the transaction is completed the funded debt of The Connecticut Light and Power Company will be only 39.9 per cent of its capitaliza- tion and 37 per cent of it's property account, while the company will still have ample cash and market able securities to meet any demands which are likely to arise in the near future.
