Many requests are being received
by the local Social Security Board
for wage record statements intended
to be used by individuals In making
out their income tax returns that
cannot be serviced for reasons be-
yond the control Of the Board, 1t
was announced today by Edward H.
Mullarkey, manager Of the field Of
flee at 1903 Bank street.
"All persons should understand
that the wage record accounts MAIN
tanned by the Social Security Board,
now totaling approximately 60O00,-
900 such records, are primarily
maintained for recording the wage
record earnings Of individuals em-
ployed In occupations covered by
the social security law" Mr.. Null
larkey said. "These accounts are
established for the express purpose
Of enabling the Social Security
Board to determine the benefit pay
nentS to which an individual may
be entitled, provided such person Is
otherwise eligible to be awarded
benefit payments under the law and
not for the purpose Of furnishing
individuals with q record Of their
earnings for income tax purposes.
$50 that persons may know what
their earnings are for income tax
purposes as we'll aS accounting for
income tax deductions" Mr.. Null
larkey said, "every employer is re-
quired by the internal revenue laws,
rules and regulations, to give his
employee a written receipt showing
Just what his or her earnings are
and the tax deduction made there
from"
Mr.. Mullarkey further said that
wage record accounts Of individuals
as maintained by the Social Sc
curity Board are not current-that
Is, up to date, because Of the fact
that such wage record account en-
tries are taken from duplicate copies
of tax returns filed with the COL
lector of Internal Revenue by en-
ployers within the month following
the quarter period within which such
wages were earned or paid. He add
ed that q period Of att least six
months Is usually required before
these duplicate copies Of reported
earnings are recorded, and any re-
port Of earnings for the year end
Ing December 81, 1912, could not
not possibly be furnished before

Waterways two general hospitals,
both Member Hospitals Of the non
profit White Gross, the Connecticut
Plan for Hospital Care, issued pub
lie statements today through their
superintendents on the occasion Of
the Plans Fifth anniversary in
Waterbury celebration, March I.
Sister M. TERESA, superintendent
Of st. Mary's Hospital, declared that
while membership in the Plan has
been Of advantage to all classes Of
society, we know that the middle
and poorer classes have been most
benefited. Not only have those
members been relieved of the great
er part of the financial burden at
tending illness, but while in the
hospital have been able to have
more luxurious accommodation, thus
securing the comforts and privacy
that could not otherwise have been
enjoyed"
Miss Aida e. Greer, superinten-
dent of Waterbury Hospital. said
that 1.-THE Waterbury Hospital has
had five years of mostly pleasant and
beneficial association with the
White Cross, and has made many
friends through hospital care given
its members. The fact that today
over SO per cent Of greater Water
bury is enrolled in the White Gross
shows the relationship Of the hospi-
tai plan TO the hospitals Of Water
bury. Not only have the hospitals
benefited. but subscribers doctors
and the community has been en-
riched In spirit.
"A subscriber. when he presents
himself or member Of hiT family
at the Admitting Office OF the hos
pital. expressed n sense OF security
and projection. which gives him
confidence in his hospital and doc
tor. I believe this IL more TO be
treasured than dollars. for when re.
lieved OF worry. his period Of con-
valescense u shortened, and he u
soon returning 70 his home and
normal way of living"
