MEETING TONIGHT
 ON l945 BUDGET
Formal Adoption Expected Following Board of
 Aldermen Session

Few expectations are held that tonight'S public hearing on the adoption of a 1945 city budget will produce opposition to any enclosed measures when the hearing opens at 7:30 p. m. in the city's alder manic chambers.
 Following the hearing the board of aldermen vii rule on final adop- ton of the budget set at $6,541 ,803. A 30 mill tax rate will undoubtedly be voted upon by the board with the budget predicated on an anticipated grand list of $190 million.
 Mayor John s. Monagan will read his annual report to the board to- night and is epected to touch upon wartime measures affecting the city relative to the makeup of the budget as planned by the city budget director Arnold Furlong and the board of finance.
 Adoption of the cost-of- living bonus for employees is epected with the possibility arising of board mem- berS seeking to vote upon defi- mite wage scale prohibiting the in- dividual employe averaging that level or over from receiving the wage increase. Heretofore the limitation has ben verbally agreed upon but never enclosed within the minutes of any meeting.
 Although some speculation has arisen today as to whether citizens might appear tor Ut in protest to sharp curtailment of storm water drainage expenditures sharpely cur tailed within the present budget, it did not seem too likely that much formal protest would be made on this measure.

Merchants Start On
 Wrapping Holiday
Shoppers Requested to Cooperate By Accepting Pur- { chases Without Customary Trimmings"

lf the Waterbury stores sales girls handed you an m1wrapped box today, you will know she was lust carrying out her part in the baper wrapping Holiday.
 At the request of the War Pro- duction Board, through the Cham Der of Commerce, local merchants are cutting down on the quantity of outside wrappings for the dura- tion. The voluntary holiday began ehis morning.
 Here is how the Holiday works" !" Frank J. Green of the chambers retail bureau, explained this morn ang: 'In the first place, if you possibly can, you should take your own shoping bag to market or to any retail store. When you make Rolr purchase you can suggest to the sales person that you don't need it wrapped. The sales ticket proves you bought it.
 Suppose you have no shopping bag. In that case small packages which do not come in a box will De put into paper bags as usual as long as paper bags hold out. When you make your next purchase, perhaps it will fit, unwrapped, into a bag you have already received. 1f your purchase comes in a box. do not ask to have the box wrapped "a string will do.
 "All these measures" MT. Green said, will conserve the supply of wrapping paper and help to ease &he paper shortage which is stead fly getting worse."
 Local and state salvage officials eeel that the paper Wrapping Holi- day is not only a sound conservation measure, but that 1t will aid the waste paper campaign too.
 Connecticut paper board mills haven't enough waste paper on hand to last two days" Seth Low Rierrepont, state salvage chairman, said Sunday.
 "One way to relieve this short Rge," he added, lis to salvage all wrapping paper which we carry home from Christmas shopping. Obvious ly, wrappings cannot be completely eliminated, but those which it is necessary to use can be salvaged. Wrapping papers can be sent to war by flattening them out, pack ing them in carton along with pther waste basket bits, and putting

MARSHAL PROBES
 WEEKEND FIRMS
Department Kept Busy; /; Center St. Blaze Confined
 to One Building

The Waterbury Fire Department spent one of its busiest week-ends in months as firemen fought two large fires and a number of small Ter blazes in the freezing weather.
 Shortly after 3 o'clock this morn- ing, firemen threw up 8 ladder to the attic of two family house at GA East Dover street, where Leo Bertrand, 38 was trapped by flames and smoke, and Pvt. Dennis Keane of Truck 3 Go. ascended the ladder and assisted the man to safety.
 MT. Bertrand was reported in good condition at St. Mary's hospital where he was admitted for treat ment for smoke inhalation.
 The fire, which started when a clothes line fell on an oil stove in the kitchen of the first floor apart ment of Armand Bertrand, caused considerable damage to that apart ment according to Capt. Eugene Legge, aide to Fire Marshal Lahey.
 Bertrand was aroused by the smoke and he aroused his family and that of Wilfred Garneau on the second floor of his house, but was unable to reach his brother, Leo, who was sleeping in an attic room. Engines and 10, Truck 3 and the booster answered a telephone alarm at 2t54 A. M., and EngS. 2, 3, 2, Truck l, and the emergency wagon responded to a box alarm six min- uteS later. Chief Thomas F. Cava- naugh and Deputy Chief Joseph A. Kelley directed operations.
 Marshal Lahey and Captain Legge are continuing a probe into the cause of bad fire at the Walsh block at 53-57 Center street, Satur- day, which drove IS persons to the street. Cause of the fire is still un- determined.
 Hundreds of Saturday shoppers thronged to the 12-apartment structure as the fire raced across the five-story block. Fire damage was confined to the top floor of the building but water damage was ex- tensive on the lower floors, firemen reported.
 The blaze started in an attic over the apartment of Charles Kir- CO., night manager of the Minerca restaurant, and rnushroomed through his three front rooms, Capt. Legge siad.
 This morning firemen answered 8 call to 137 Central avenue where hot ashes caused cellar fire which began eating its way up through the walls before firemen extinguish- ed it. Other calls this morning were were to 280 Highland avenue, an overflowed carburetor in car be- longing to John F Riley; and an overflow of oil at 26 Trowbridge street.
 Also yesterday, firemen battled a stubborn clear fire which spread through the partitions at the home of MT. and Mrs. Salvatore Cocchio- la, 571 Watertown avenue.
