FIREPROOF VAULTS FOR CITY RECORDS.
State Examiner Joins in Endorsing Plan to Safe-
 guard Valuable Papers

Added support was given this week to previously discussed plans for the construction of a fire-proof general purpose building to house city rec ords when Harold Burt state exam iner of records suggested to city of- ficials that some, more adequate, means for protecting records be eS- tablished here.
 It was pointed out by MT. Burt who conferred with local officials relative to the destruction of city records beyond six years of age as provided for by state statute, that the vaults built into most of the de- partment offices in the city hall are not sufficiently fire-proof.
 Relative to this it was stated that although the building Is perhaps one of the most substantial in the city, if an intense fire consumed the building, the fact that the vault walls in most instances are the walls of the building proper, all city rec ords and vault contents would be destroyer following the collapse of the main structures walls.
 Tentative plans for such build ing call for its construction in the courtyard area within the center of the city hall. The local municipal building is rectangular in shape with an Italian styled courtyard in the center. Plans call for a one story or one story and a half fire-proof vault structure.
 A great deal of discussion was in- dulged in by members of the board of finance last Fall at the time the 1914 budget was being prepared rel .ative to the feasibility of construct ing such a building. Mayor Mon agan, as had the late Mayor Vincent A. Scully, has expressed interest in the idea.
 At present most city departments are finding it difficult to properly store old and fairly active records within the present storage space. In addition the town clerks vault is far over crowded with land record and vital statistic books which are referred to constantly each day.
 Similarly the assessors office is equally cramped for space and at present has some records stored in empty police cells.
 It was principally because of this over r-crowding that the state exam finer was called in this past week to check on what records may be de- stroyed. City authorities are pre- pared to go ahead with the destruc- tion of those records approved for such disposal.
 It has now been decided that rath- CT than burn these records, if found to be of sufficient quantity they may be put through shredding machine and the remains commit ted to the local paper salvage drive. The purpose of the shredding proce-

Rehabilitation, Gardening, Recreation Discussed at
 Yesterdays Session

The state council of the CCnnec- ticut Wartime Recreation asSocia- ton has accepted the invitation of local authorities to hold it's annual conference in Waterbury some time in May it was announced yesterday by Thomas s. Smith chairman of the local wartime recreation corn- mittee at yesterdays meeting of the Civilian Service board.
 Bernard Mcdonald, chairman of the local war garden committee told yesterdays meeting that more ex- tenSive plans must be formulated for Waterbury's garden program during 1914. It is expected, MT.

Inquiries received at the office disclose many employed persons do not realize they may be required to make a substantial income tax pay ment March IS, it was reported. Contrary to general belief the with holding of income and victory tax from wages did not, in many cases. fully satisfy the total income and victory tax liability for 1943, a rev. enue spokesman stated. This is partly because the withholding for the first half of the year was for victory tax only and partly because the unforgiven portion of the 1922 tax will be added to the 1943 tax, he explained.
 Persons who earned enough to be- come income taxpayers for the first time in 1943, those who earned sub stantially more in 1943 than in 1942, and those who filed a 1942 return showing a tax due of more than $50 and paid only half or less are among those who will owe payments on March 15.
 The revenue bureau states, for ex- ample, that 8 single person who had no 1942 tax but earned $2,00O in wages in 1943 will owe nearly $13O over and above the amounts withheld from his wages. This is the equivalent of almost three and one-half weeks wages and must be paid in full by March 15.
 The longer forms used this year have created additional concern to local taxpayers and 1t is believed larger numbers of persons will seek aid of the staff than ever before. At the present time 20 workers are on hand at the local office to assist in filling out forms, and the staff will be augmented further as the rush increases.
 Already dividing line for persons coming in and going out has been set up in the local office and signs have been erected directing the for nation of lines of taxpayers.
 Most of the persons who paid tax es previously have already received by mail the tax forms they will be required to file. Additional blanks are obtainable at the office.
