July Items Approved By Board
 Finance Committee
 Approves Transfers
 In Regular Meeting

A total of $2s5, 1es in payrolls and vouchers for the month of July was approved by the Board of Finance at it's regular meeting yes- terday at the City Hall. The total consisted $l47,17e in payrolls and $137, 988 in vouchers.
 Refunds to taxpayers who made overpayments on taxable property were authorized by the Board of Finance at it's meeting yesterday City Budget Director Arnold E. Fur long told the board, meeting in the City Hall, that tax bills forwarded to these taxpayers were in excess of the percentage of the total as- sessment derived by the new revalu- ation program.
 The budget director noted the matter to make certain that the city followed the provedure as set forth in the special Validating Act passed in the General Assembly in June. The city already has spe- cial account set foyth in the 1946 budget for refund of overpayments.
 MT. Furlong also told the Board that the city now pays $87 per month for the floodlighting of the City Hall facade, plaza and the street area in front of the municip- al building. The board voted transfer of 5000 in the mainten- ance budget to defray continued costs of this service. It was report ed that the cost of installing street lights in the area, which would give no more adequate lighting, would be far in excess of the floodlights.
 The board yesterday voted the transfer of 5000 within the Street Departments budget for purchase of a new snowloader. Street Supt. Her bert Scott-Smith said that the equipment was badly needed by the department.
 The Street Department also was authorized to transfer $2,700 from the budget category of salaries to that of motor vehicle maintenance, in order to repair those vehicles which cannot be otherwise replaced at this time.
 The board approved the $33, $50 50 contract recently awarded the Innes Bros, construction firm, Thomaston for work at the Fair1nount Athletic Field.
 The report of City Treasurer Serge Belanger as of July 31 sub mitted to the board yesterday re- vealed that the city has a total cash balance on deposit, of $3270, ,585.48 Of this amount, $2,793,87l is money on deposit with four Water bury banks and the First National Bank of Boston, in general operat- ing accounts.

Shoe Plants MoyCIose;
 Lack Hides

Boston, Aug. - (UP) - The na- tion,s $l 0O,0O0,000 shoe industry may have to shut down completely within a week unless the OPA takes maximum prices of hides and skins a spokesman for the New England Shoe and Leather Association pre- dicted today.
 Maxwell Field, executive vice. president of the association, said in a statement that unless government action were taken immediately, 300,- 900 workers in the United States would be idled.
 ''1he key to the crisis facing this industry" he said, lis the price and delivery of hides and skins. On June 30, legal OPA ceilings on hides were Is 1-2 cents pound. During the period of no price controls from July to 25, hide prices rose daily to a top of 27 cents pound-Which still was below the world price level of 29-31 cents in South America. .
 Field said that since QPA controls were reinstated, no hides have been received by tanners and they III turn cannot ship leather to shoe manufacturers because they are op- erating on replacement basis. Manufacturers will have to begin shutting down, Field sed
 "The only permanent solution, he said, 'is for lOPA to immediately decontrol all maximum prices on hides, feathers and shoes. Only such immediate action will permit con- tinued peak shoe production and employment.
 An industry wide shutdown would affect approximately 1l5,ooo workers in New England where about one third of the nations shoes are pro- dllced.
