 Hand Signatures

Hahdwritten signatures resemb- ling Then tracks in the mud' are . source of irritation to personnel in the office of the town clerk, but a remedy has been found by Mrs. Mary c. Kilmartin. The city official has announced. plan to send writ ten requests to members of the bar, local realtors. bank. personnel and other groups who file legal docu- nnents with her office, to supple ment original hand signatures on the documents with typewritten sig- natures. The plan, Mrs. Kilmartin states, has been quite successful in other cities, and realtors and law yers have cooperated whole-heart- edly with town clerks.
 The new procedure will also be helpful in the matter of photostatic duplication, Mrs. Kilmartin said. The Rectigraph Daylight Duplex Photo Copy machine recently pur- chased by the City of Waterbury is being installed in a room vacated by the Draft Board and will be used for recordings by many departments in the City Hall. It will be necessary for signatures to be ligible to insure satisfactory duplication.

 First Raised Checks

Seventy-four letter carriers, 66 clerks, and 12 supervisors connect ed with the local post office this week received their first pay in crease in 20 years, under the re- classification bill which was pass ed last month in Washington, granting a flat increase to $400 annually to postal employees.
 Postmaster Charles A. Babin, who received 8 yearly stipend of $6,000 was the only member of the local post office staff who did not benefit under the bill.
 Postal employees at the onset of the war in 1942, received a $500 allowance designated as "a cost of living bonus" Though the in- crease helped substantially in meeting inflationery wartim e prices, it was a temporary meas ure. and postal workers have been seeking permanent raise dur ing the past year. One such bill was defeated last December.
