As the city's IS snow blows work ed tlds morning to clear the streets of g five inch snow fall, the wea- ther bureau held out the hope that the storm would blow out to sea and the sun would shine in Water bury this afternoon.
 It is not believed the snow will continue past tonight in any ease, and total fall here is not expected to exceed 6 or inches. Much colder weather, however, is in store. AL though traffic was slowed somewhat this morning, and several minor accidents were reported. the storm has not brought the inconvenience suffered in the last snowfall. This is partly due to the way the first few inches of the snowfall packed neatly down. Superintendent of Streets Herbert Scott Smith said that while all the regular crews were out this morning, no extras were likely to be called. Fourteen trucks were used in sanding slip pery streets yesterday.
 Bus and train schedules remained virtually unaltered. Cit busses also continued to maintain schedules in good order, although the storm necessitated changing few vehi- cles for others better equipped. A. J. Drummond, superintendent of the c. R. and L. Co., said.
 Two trucks collided on Washing ton avenue last night, one of the trucks being badly damaged. Motor

SEEK DETERRENT
 FOR TAX AGENTS
Internal Revenue Dept. Needs Experienced Aides
 in Rush Season

Local internal revenue tax depu- ties may be deferred from the draft into the armed services until after April 1, it was revealed today when Frank w. Kraemer, district of Con- necticut collector for the depart ment announced from Hartford that he had been authorized by Wash ington officials to seek deferments for all deputies who may be called before that time.
 Gabriel Price, deputy collector here and many others in the local office are now said to be in IA and undoubtedly will be affected by the move if put through suc- cessfully.
 With the heavy tax payments due by March 18th together with the al- ready prevalent shortage of person. nel in all such offices in the state it has been deemed impera&ve that these men be retained until after the tax payment period Is officially closed.
 To date the Connecticut depart ment has lost 69 employees to the armed services of whom 5 were dep- uties. There now are 195 deputies in the state but as yet no survey has been made as to how many are draftable. Eighteen women left the department in the past month 1t has been revealed.
