Plainville News TAX COLLECTIONS FOR APRIL OVER $24,000 Collector Hemingway Shatters Al Records for Month. . SEWER MEETING IN TWO WEEKS Less Than $5,000 to Be Collected on 1913 Grand List~—Judge Stoughton Prepares Call and Resolutions— Baseball Meetings—At the Churches Receipts aggregating nearly $25,000 have been turned over to Town Treas- urer C. W. Hird by Tax Collector Hemingway since April 1, according to the latter’'s report made public to- day. Collections for taxes during the month shattered all records and were greatly in excess of the correspond- ing month of last year. While the big increase is due great- ly to the raising of the tax rate, prop- erty owners responded unusually well to the statements sent out by the collector and as a result there is less than $5,000 on the grand list of 1913 for which a settlement has to be made. Included in this amount are unpaid personal taxes, which were also due on April '1. Mr. Hemingway has reason to feel gratified with the showing made, as his record for the month is one that will doubtless stand for a fey years, despite the steady Increase. in the grand list. The collector’s books show the amount due the town on the first of last month for taxes, both per- sonal and property, was $29,414.13, and up to date he has given out re- ceipts for $24,479.22 of that amount. Property taxes which were not set- tled by April 30 will be 1ncreased by a nine per cent, assessment provided by law, and the collector is obliged to place liens on land and buildings unless the bill is paid within a rea- sonable time. Personal tax payers had until the last of the month to pay up or go in the delinquent class. Should they select the latter course they are liable to arrest at any time, The collector reports that a large part of the per- sonal tax bills have already been set- tled and he is now preparing to con- duct a campaign against those who have failed to pay up. Meet in Two Weeks. That the voters in the sanitary and sewer district will probably be called together during the week of May 17 to take definite action concerning the building of a sewer system was the opinion expressed this morning by Chairman F. T. Wheeler, who pre- sided at a meeting of the officers of the district last evening. Mr. Wheeler stated that it is the intention:to have the meeting on some night during the week above mentioned on which the Town hall is not occupied by a dance or entertainment. At the meeting of the committees last night a report was received from Judge John A. Stoughton of East Hart- ford, who was employed to draw up a call for the meeting and the res- ojutions that are to be presented. Copies of motions, drawn in proper legal form, authorizing the construc- tion of the sewer, the awarding of con- tracts and other essential features towards bringing about the improve- ment, were received from the attor- ney. Judge Stoughton has been the legal adviser of the district since it was organized and in order that no question may be raised about the le- gality of any action taken, the com- mittec thought it advisable to have him prepare the call and resolutions which it will introduce. The preparation of the check list for the district is now practically the only preliminary to which the committee will have to give its attention. As there is to be opposition to any ac- tion authorizing the building of the sewer, a vote by check list will un- doubtedly be called for, and the com- mittee proposes to have only those liv- Advantage of a Bank Account, However Small It May Be It is well to pay bills promptly, but not to pay the same bill twice. Some- times bookkeepers, by mistake, send out bills after they have been paid. If you pay by check, however, the canceled checks are returned to you and can be produced as receipts. Checking accounts are, therefore, more than a convenience. They are an insurance against overpayment Every man or woman who pays bills should do so with checks. Your account will be welcomed at this bank. FIRST NATIONAL BANK Plainville, Conn.

Members of the Holy Name society of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy had an enjoyable smoker last evening | in the Town hall.
