SAVINGS BANK
 ASSETS HEAVY
Waterbury Firm Reports $46,ll3,S68 in Deposits
 at Beginning of l944

The Waterbury Savings Bank with total deposits of $46,113, 868 is listed as one of the members of Americas National Association of Mutual Savings Banks who at the beginning of 1914 are reported to possess record deposits and assets
 It was revealed to day by James c. Young, public relations counsel of the NAMSB, that thee record deposits represent about one-eighth of all American bank deposits, as during 1943 deposits alone increased $1,086, ,O67, ,095, 8 gain unmatched In 128 years of the mutual savings bank system. This increase brought total deposits of mutual institutions in the IT state where they operate to the new peak of $1l,707, 5,048.
 Mutual savings bank officials maintain the number of depositors is better yardstick of saving than sums deposited. The year 1943 shows a gain of 418,068 depositorS thus raising the total to 15,712,211. AS each account represent the well fare of at least two persons. the figures indicated about one-fourth of the American population has a first line of defense. .-.
 Although total deposits of mutual savings banks at the year-end had reached such an imposing total, wide distributions of this money was shown by the average account, amounting to $745.09, a rise from $695. .45 one year ago.
 Other Connecticut Savings banks listed among the associations mem- bers are Society for Savings, Hart ford: Bridgeport-Peoples Savings Bank, Bridgeport; The New Haven Savings Bank and the Connecticut Savings Bank of New Haven.
 Assets of mutual institutions par alleled deposits, gain for the year being $1,092, ,254, 162. This addition raised the total to new peak of SIS, ,042, ,831 ,668. Increase of assets in the second half of the year likewise was higher than in the first half.
 While mutual savings banks gained largely in deposits and num- Der of depositors, they served the government as one of the principal distributing agencies of War Sav- ings Bonds, having distributed ap- proximately $1 IA billions of such bonds, twentieth part of all these bonds sold throughout the United Stat15. Mutual institutions in 1943 invested at least $1,6O0, 100000 in regular government issues, Or about half a billion dollars more than the increase in deposits.

.63,l82 ENROLLED
 FOR OLD AGE TAX
Collector Mangini Esti= mates $1S9,546 Due City
 From Persons Eligible

A total of $189,546 is due the City of Waterbury from Old Age taxes, according to figures presented at a meeting of the Board of Finance held last Saturday noon. The Old Age Tax enrolment as of October l, 1943, was announced as 63,1 1892 by Tax Collector Humbert E. Mangini in a communication to the board.
 It is unlikely however, that the city will realize such an amount as the 1944 budget only estimates $145, 900 from Old Age taxes this year.
 Collections in 1943 on the 1922 list totaled $154,596, which was about $25, ,000 less than the amount set up in the ci:J's books as revenue which was the same as this year $145 ,000.
 Incidentally the city will pay the state the same amount this year as last year for old age taxes $130,63784. This is due by April l, Old Age taxes are now being col- lected in increasing amounts at the Tax Collectors office, the same be- ing due and payable February 1 and becoming delinquent on March 1.
 The apparent discrepancy be- tween between the amount assessed this municipality by the State of Connecticut for Old Age taxes and that estimated by the Tax Collec- tor is due to the fact that the state does not base its figure on &C., tual enrolment figures but on population.
 That there are discrepancies in local figures, too, is apparent from the fact that the city has never collected the amount the Tax Col lector has been charged with by the City Controller, because the enroll ment list is apt to contain duplica- tions, names of persons lately re- moved from the city, persons in the armed service, etc. These are sup posed to be detected when the Old Age census is taken each fall, but many slip through and bills are sent out.

could be moved from a ground floor to a room now used as a print shop and the new mechanics course given on the first floor. He stated that at the present time two print shops exist and the demands for printing courses are small.
 Few expnses would be involved in organizing the new course, the board was told. It was reported the tools and equipment needed might be purchased with income from the Leavenworth foundation and none of the funds provided in the school budget would have to be used.
 Dr. Condon also pointed out that the school department may, with approval from the Board of Finance, use appropriations for items other than those provided in the budget. He stated that due to war conditions many really neces- sary items cannot be obtained and the board in such cases may use the funds for other equally needed items.
 The resignation of Miss Julia Quinn, teacher at Hopeville school, was accepted by the Board and Miss Kathleen Healey was transferred from Russell school, where she taught grade 2 geography, to take Miss Quinns place as teacher of grade 3 at Hopeville.
 The position held by Miss Healey previously will not be filled, 1t was reported. Dr. Condon likewise stated on inquiries from the com- missioners that post vacated by death at Wilby High school will not be filled and that no successor will be named to Charles Murphy, wood working teacher in the elementary schools, who was granted leave of absence to enter the service. The Board voted to send letter of re- gret to Miss Quinn.
 Two sections of the education de- partment rules pertaining to teach CTS were referred to the rules com mittee at request of Commission CT Joseph DeLuca. One of the reg ulations prevents persons who have other than teaching jobs from teaching night school, and the oth- CT pertains to pay for substitute teachers. Several commissioners have requested that a 50 cent raise be provided for all substitute teach CTS. A discrimination against mar ried teachers exists at the present time, 1t was pointed out.
