in this community the record ot Joe" Stevens will yield a wealth ot interesting facts, for he figured in the investigation and the breaking" of many of the most outstanding cases on tho local police blotter His name appeared time and again in connection with the investiga- ton of serious crimes of public i'm portance and concern. Not only was he unusually successful in de- lection work, but as court witness Joe" had few equals in matching wits" with the keenest of legal minds. And he ale ways seemed to hold an ace" in reserve when the cross examina- ton or the heckling grew the hot test. And, incidentally, as tribute to his fairness and charity there are many prominent citizens or prominent families in Waterbury to- day who must feel indebted to Joe who righted many injusticcs and little of the record" affairs with out fanfare and with fairness to all concerned. "Joe" Stevens knew Waterbury and WaterburianS and there are few members in the his tory of the police department who could ever match his general knowl- edge of fellow citizens, their weak nesses or their virtues. He did his duty without prejudice and without vindictiveneSs. His absolute im- partiality won for him the friend ship and gratitude of many.
 Joe" Stevens was recognized with the highest esteem by men promin- ent in various professions. He also had a reputation of being square shooter" with many whom he was obliged to "book".
 Credit To Department
 Apart from the duties of his voca- ton as policeman which he filled with credit to himself, his depart ment and city "Joe" Stevens in pri- vate life was also an exemplary citi- zen. Of him it can be said most truly that he was a "home man.. He had many loyal, admiring friends and associates on the outside. He was congenial, pleasant and sympathetic on all occasions. He was sports enthusiast. which may be account ed for by the fact that in his early days "out East" he was very cap- able ball player. There was never q dull moment when "Joe" was around to discuss sports or events of the day for he was an interesting conver- sationalist. With his mental back ground of local facts Joe" could be most interesting and entertaining.
 For these and many other rea- sons Chief Inspector Joseph P. Ste vens as a police official or as a pri- vate citizen loomed with deserved prominence and esteem in Water bury's who's who. To his bereaved family today went scores of mes sages from many prominent resi- dents and all contain statements that serve as tributes to be cherish ed. All testified to his splendid char acter, his unquestioned ability and for the qualities and virtues that made him so widely known and so highly respected.
 Records at the Waterbury Police department show that Joseph F. Stevens, a former employe of the

FOREIGN HOLDINGS
 MUST BE LISTED
Postmaster Babin Calls
 Attention to Government Requirement

Waterbury residents who own property in foreign countries were notified by Postmaster Charles A. Babin today that they must file re- ports of their foreigo holdings with the Treasury Department before December 1. The notice was given by means of poster placed on dis play in the post office.
 MT. Babin points out 1t is neces- sary for the government to have as complete information as possible on American stakes abroad to assist military authorities and civilian governments on the fighting fronts and to bring about sound solutions of postwar problems.
 Report forms, known as TFR-500, may be obtained through commerc- ial banks, or from the nearest Fed eral Reserve Bank, the postmaster stated. Penalties are provided for those who wilfully fail to file re- ports.

Roughly it Is expected that the city's surplus for this year will amount to some S60O,000 of which esil,i3o is hoped to be used for fi- nancing the l944 budget. It is fur tner planned that some $200,000 of this total surplus will be reserved for post war city projects while elOO,00o is already invested in Treas ury notes for this latter purpose.
 The board of finance members es- timate c total grand list for l944 of iB0 millions which is an increase of approximately two million over the current listing. However, this Increase will not permit much of an increase In city revenue, propor- tionately, on the basis of 30 mill tax rate. One million dollars esti- mated on the grand list at the pres ent tax rate would amount to about e27,700 increase in city revenues while 0 two million increase as esti- mated will result in only about a e55,000 revenue increase which as is evident would hardly be sufficient to reduce the 90 mill rate.
 Although 1t has been frequently stated that If it were not for the estimated surplus to be used for next years budget financing, that the tax rate would have to be raised, such c theory is not consisten with standard programs for municipal financing.
 Revenue and expenditures. re- ceipts and appropriations are all carefully estimated before each fiscal year and in the past few years city finance officials have proven to be closely accurate on their estimates, as to surpluses re- sulting from close adherence to the planned budgetory program.
 Other than as planned finan- cial program for city operation a budget is likewise the only and most reasonable means of determ- ming before hand what will be the financial condition of a city a year hence. Only as result of unusual and radical occurrences causing a sharp increase in city expenditures should the tax rate be increased.
 Last nights special meeting was one of many similar ones held by the board for the purpose of re- viewing the various departmental budgets. It is understood that all but the health department budgets have been reviewed and considered and this will be taken up at a similar meeting to be held next Monday night. Various changes and
