Waterbury's revaluation of all real and personal property may soon get underway, 1t was stated today, with the possibility of a con- tract being signed between the city and an appraisal firm soon. The re- valuation is a result of the recent findings of the state tax commits sioners office following Q survey Of the present system which they ruled as obsolete and outmoded,"
 Real-estate and appraisal firms have met on occasions with the To- cal revaluation commission and the general consensus of opinion was that the job would be an arduous and lengthy one. Among those who have expressed their desire to bid on the contract have been George Horan, local man, head of an ape praisal firm in New Haven; Will liam F. Connolly, tax commissioner of Bridgeport who had begun Q similar revaluation of Waterbury in 1929, and John J. Hutchinson, local realtor. Sources today stated that 1t seemed likely that MT. Horan may receive the contract.
 Many centrally located and ex- pensive properties in the city may be affected by an upward assess ment resulting from the reValuation 1t has been stated, while, in gen. eral, more equitable assessment on all city property will be attempt- cd.

Boston, March 14, - (UP) - Governor John w. Bricker of Ohio Republican Presidential candidate, will wind up his four-day New Eng land swing with a stop-over in Springfield today.
 At a final press conference yes- terday, Governor Bricker voiced his belief that the Republicans could elect their nominee in November regardless of whether MT. Roose- welt was an opposition candidate
 Asked if he would like to have Governor Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts as his running mate should he win the Republican nom- nation, Bricker said he would be glad to be paired with Saltonstall. He added that he would like to be running the mate If the Massachu. setts chief executive should win top position.
 He called upon the nation to de- feat the New Deal, and to put an end to It's "absolutism, centraliZation and domination of the people," Scor- Ing both the Presidents and COP candidate Wendell Willkie's tax pro- grams, Bricker said heavy taxation should wait until the war Is over
 Governor Bricker described his own program as dynamic economy" which he described as an economy of full production and encour- agement of business with rewards of endeavor to be in terms of profits, setting the people free by releasing them from governmental reports and Investigations and senseless re- strictions, and a strengthening of local government"

Committees Dissolved

Washington, March l4.-(UP)- The state department announced to- day dissolution of the United States Canada joint economic committees established in June, i94l, to. utilize the combined resources of the two countries in the war effort.
 "The committees have. been of great assistance, not only in the CO., ordination of wartime measures and controls, but also in surveying and advising on economic problems ol common concern" the statement said.
 Tt has been agreed, however, by the two governments that the de- velopment of other agencies for coordination and exchange of views and the establishment during the past three years of methods of COG operation in production and the use of resources have rendered unneces- sary the continued operation of the committees"

ROBINS CALL AT
 DROOKSIDE HOME
Democrats Spring Report. CT of Spring Fever Ad.
 dict in Cheerful Mood

Exhausted, no doubt, from the strenuous travelling conditions of today, destitute from the high cost of living and taut from the cone stant pickering and haranguing over priorities-two robins, direct from Florida, alighted on the lawn of Brookside home yesterday, formally presenting to Matthew Doyle, super intendent, the first hamburger of spring.
 Remaining overnight, the two 'Erithacus Nubecula" (roblns to us), began an extensive survey of the grounds about Waterbury's home and seemed inclined to settle down. According to the Superin sendent they told him that after a winter In Florida, during these times, Wa terbury now looked to them like Florida should like-but doesn't, This despite the sharp traces of winter that stung through the air this morning.
 Further signs of spring were to be noted about the city as trees in parks and elsewhere began to un- fold tiny buds. Residents of the city, curtailed by the limitations on gasoline and travel, already began to make use of the many paths in local parks, as families leisurely en. joyed Sunday walks.
 Sport pages are reporting the first action In spring baseball training while local kids began to Timber their "big-league" arms. Garden enthusiasts were looking over the inevitable seed catalogues while storing up sufficient quantities oi liniment to offset the forthcoming effects of spading, grading, etc. There was no doubt that spring Is coming-as 1t always does-and the people of Waterbury awaited 1t :his year for war, only as a means of leSsening the worries imparted by winter. It will more likely be rec membered as the spring that saw the invasion of Europe.

Still, to meet. any possible need on the part of the public the office will remain open until mid night tomorrow night. Closing time tonight was set fer 6 o'clock.
