FINANCIAL REPORT
 BEING PREPARED
All Outstanding Bills Must Be Submitted; Record
 Surplus Looms

All bills against the City of Wa terbuiN must be submitted by Jan. 3l, Controller Cornelius F. MaloMey warned today. Under the charter, all charges incurred during 1942 must be cleared up by the end of the first month of this year.
 Though preliminary work on the financial report for 1922 has been started, MT. Maloney said that conn- putation of the citys operating sur- plus for last year cannot be under taken until all bills are in and pay- ment of them have been approved.
 It has been estimated that the 1942 surplus will hit the 600,000 mark or better, giving the city the greatest operating balance for any one year in its history.
 The controller said that the long, range financial policy established by the late Controller Thomas M. Con- lon will be followed during his term. Unless there is some drastic change in conditions, stated, the city should also end 1943 with sizeable surplus.
 The city does not plan to ask the General Assembly for any bond issue authorization, marking the first time in many sessions that Such has been the case.

REDUCE PRICES ON FIREPLACE CRATES
Waterbury Dealers Among Number Ordered By OPA
 to Observe Orders

An undisclosed number of hard ware stores and coal dealers in New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury were directed in a letter from the State OPA today to mark down prices on fireplace grates to cot- form with price control regulations.
 The letters were sent out follow ing series of complaints from resi- dents of the three cities that some retailers selling scrap iron and steel fireplace grates are charging $ll50 and up for grates whose ceilings" are supposed to be 5000, an OPA official said.
 While ceilings" on grates vary according to weight and material, 5000 is the top price chargeable for the popular welded scrap iron and steel type weighing between 26 and 30 pounds, the spokesman ex- plained.
 Moreover, the federal law re- quires all retailers to tag grates of- fered for sale with the specific maximum price, it was pointed out.
 The law also requires such grates to be accompanied by a guarantee from the manufacturer that "they are fit to burn coal or wood in a fireplace" If the guarantee isn't attached, the retailer must reduce the selling price IS per cent. In case of 5000 grates, this would make the legal ceiling" $8.50. Cast-iron grates range from $4.15 for at least IS pounds, to $7.00 for at least 30 pounds, while prices for grates made from such substitute materials as clay and treated glass range between $7.95 and $16.50, the OPA official stated.
 Every type of grate offered for sale must be price-tagged.

 ed for Current Year

Women directly aided the war ef- fort by cooperating with retail stores in reducing unnecessary de- liveries during the Christmas shop ping season, the Office of Defense Transportation announced today through the Connecticut News Bureau, OfIice of War Information.
 At the same time, ODT pointed out, unnecessary deliveries must be curtailed throughout the year if es- sential services to customers are to be maintained. Shoppers are urged to shop in off-peak hours, and to carry the smaller, lighter packages, Here are some suggestions which will ease the shopping burden:

SKATING DREAMS

All your life have you been ponder!ng and denanng Trying to decide if you shouldn't take up sRatinSP skatngl There's a sport good for the health, Vigorous and genuine, you go out by stealth To size up the ponds and the rinks round about And decide right then that there isn't doubt In your mind that a skater you'll be, Skimmng along like bird fleet and carefree- Winter follows winter you've tr.ed with the thought, But all your skating plans come to naught. Do you recall the winter you actually bought skatesT suit cap and you made tentative dates? You walked by the river, you drove to the pond' You admired the snow-clad hills beyond You looked at the skaters skating in the park, You too were eager to start a skating lark. Next winter absolutely-a solemn oath you took You would give up the nice fire and very good book All your life you've been waiting and waiting, It's in the cards, you ought to take up skating But when next winter comes, To and behodl You find the weather and yourself too cold and too old

The best public official of our city Devoted to his duties and family man yer conscientious to his duty Always on the alert for the affairs of the city Whenever our boys left for the army At the station to bid them farewell bright and eary During the blackouts at night He was there to see that it was done right He kept everything under control Very seldom went out for a stroll. He worked from early morning to late at night And saw to it that everything was all right. The work and strain has been such That it ordinarily would take two to do as much, It is shame that he has been stricken By e sudden heart attack. It s sad that t happened to the mayor Of this city And we are very sorry for him and h.s family.
