nue. from street assessments which

enue of $500. up to Sept. LIST Of the
current year. Revenue from fore

prising figure in that IL shows q
realization, as Of Sept. 30, 1913, Of
$9,4l2. which might indicate the ease
with which property today, In Wa
terbury, during the housing short

SEWAGE DISPOSAL
PLANS PERFECTED
Commission to Visit Hart
ford to Explain Proposal
to State Board

City Engineer Charles Root today
stated that plans for a city sewage
disposal system have satisfactorily
progressed to point where the To-
cal commission will soon travel to
Hartford to explain to the state
board the plans that are being con-
sidered for adoption. It is expected
that the local commission will go
to Hartford some time in early
November, possibly the list.
Mr.. Root pointed out, however.
that this does not mean that real
construction will be begun on such
a project before the end of the war,
but is the preliminary ground work
being laid down for post war con-
struction. He pointed out the fact
that 1t is likely, that at the pres
ent. the government would refuse
to issue priorities for materials that
would be required for such a pro-
ject, and If any priorities were
granted it is more than likely that
they would be- of such low rating
that many months would elapse be-
fore their value would mature.
He likewise brought to attention,
that labor shortages and other war
time obstacles would make impos-
sible the construction of such a sys-
tenn during these times.
1t is estimated that the eventual
construction will cast In the neigh
borhood of one million dollars.
Such q disposal system would pro-
vide O tremendous increase in saIii-
tation facilities for the city and
would establish the city on o level
comparable with the most progress
sive in the country, on such a per-
tlnent Issue.

VINO OFFICIALS
ARRANGE PROBE
Affairs of Manville Ma
chine Co. to Be Scrutin-
lied By Federal Men

Representatives of the War Man
power Commission are expected In
Waterbury Monday, to begin the
preliminary probe into the situation
prevailing at the E. ]. Manville Co.,
between management and labor.
The above commission and men,
bers Of the War Labor Board have
been requested by the local C1O,
Mine, Mil & Smelter Workers
union acting as enploye representa-
tives, to enter the local issue for
the purpose Of investigating the
conditions Of the contracts held by
the company.
As reported in yesterdays Demo-
crat, Rowley w. Phillips, president
Of the company, paid surprise
visit to the plant on Thursday after
noon and spoke to all the employees
at O mass gathering. He told them
that II contracts could be obtained
they would all work, but II not they
would all, including himself, be out
Of work. The understanding Is thate
there Is little call anymore, for cold
forged jobs. Mr.. Phillips told the
employees that contract from Rus
STA, under lend-lease had been
promised, but that 1t was proving
difficult to cut through the red-tape
to obtain It.
Patrick O'Neil, national repre-
sentative Of the CLIO Is expected to
confer with the officials Of the VINO
on Monday together with officials
Of the company for the purpose Of
laying down the ground work for
the extensive probe that is expected.
It is believed that members Of the
WLB may likewise make their ap-
pearance here by that time.
It is reported that the investiga-
ton will be an inclusive one and
will delve into contract negotiations
Of the concern.

SIX-WEEK LABOR
CAMPAIGN ENDING

Winding up its special six-week
labor recruiting campaign today the
Waterbury War Workers Mobiliza-
ton committee urged late-appli-
carts to report to the U. s. En-
ployment Service at 1913 Bank street
and take one Of the many war jobs
that are waiting to be filled.
Although the special drive ends
today appeals for more workers will
continue with other programs to be
planned later to induce persons who
are unemployed to take jobs for the
duration of the war. The need of
additional workers is said to be cri-
tical still, and many more recruits
will be needed to keep the produc-
ton machine going, it is reported.

The following Is q detailed sched-
ule showing how IL is estimated by
The city budget directors office, just
what will be the surplus enjoyed by
the city at the end Of the current
year. This estimate is then taken
into consideration for the financing
Of the next years budget appropria-
lion.
under city charter provision an es-
innate Of but 90 per cent OF the city's
current tax levy is permitted In ar
irving at the estimated revenues for
the current year. AS result when q
surplus occurs its bulk is made up
of these tax revenues over and above
the 90 per cent. The present over
all estimate as to what percentage
the city will realize on their current
taxes Is one Of 81 and q fraction per-
cent. -
AS result the figure Of 1901 ,062 re-
ported In yesterdays Democrat as
that given to the board Of finance
by Budget Director T. E. Olsen, and
shown TO be the estimated additional
receipts Is made up in most part OF
the receipts over the limited 90 per
cent estimate allowed by charter.
This plus the figure Of $l73,875. the
estimated unexpended balance Of APP
preparation gives the total estimated
surplus that the city make expect
at the end Of 194S, figure Of $474,-
93S.
The net excess Of estimated re-
Ceipts over budget receipts Is de-
termined from the chart by deduct
ing the total budget estimates for
1913 from the estimated total real
ization for 1943. To arrive ct the es-
timated unexpended balances Of APP
preparations, the estimated expendi-
lures against budget appropriations
which Is given as $6,l94,94a. Is de-
Quoted from the budget appropria-
ton Of $6,36S,S24. The result is the
