A prom- inent Waterbury concern has been mentioned to do the wark. The move- ment, however, lacks concerted ac- tion but if it is not accomplished this vear there is little doubt but what it will gain ground and be put to a vote «® the taxpayers. its supporters claim. Never before in the history of the town has there been such a general hue and cry over the assessment,which ; it is claimed by some is not fair as it does not affect every taxpayer equal- lv. Some properties are doubled and same almost trebled. The assessment on the property of C. M. Jarvis is now upder fire. Last vear it was $45,000 and this year $38,000. He was as- sessed on 202 acres of land last yea: and this vear on 268 acres. He has disposed of some of his property dur- ing the past .vear, but the figures of this year show that he has either bought more land or the assessors in he past did not assess on all property owned by him. ;. When the taxpayers assemble at the iowh meeting, which be called within a few weeks, arve all kinds of surprises in The tax rate which it has often been stated would reach 22 mills will never sea that mark according to many of the disgruntled ones who will put forth n 16 mill tex which they claim. will be carried. The budget. it is claimed. does not necessa have to be paid fag in its entirety this year and that sore of the amounts incorporated in the budget can be taken care of by a hond issue, thereby assimilating the expense over a period of vears. The argument being advanced is that the town will not have ta face the expense in the next few vcars that it will have o face this vear. ¢ Every pos for the removal of expens: tricd. One of the paossibilities is the cutting of the rate of pay for the collection of taxes which is at pres- ent $15 a thousand. It is claimed that more than $1.100 would be paid out for the callection of taxes this vear if no changes in the made. ® This is nearly double the amount paid for the work last year. A 10 per cent. increase has been suggested, as it -is clafmed the amount af work en- tailed in the collection this vear will is to there store, is heing ible channel that is open | budget were ! | the state. | not be appreciably greater. It probable, however, that this matter | will be considered as the work of C. F. Lewis, the present tax collector, has been abovc criticism, the general feeling being that the jab is worth all that it pay: If & 16 mill tax is voted on a grand list of $3.800,000 the return would he approximatel $61,000. of which amount moré than $50.000 would be for school purpeses alone. leaving a scant $10,000 for the incidental ex- penses of the towwn.” "The next ~town meeting promises to be a session re- splendent with fireworks. Merchants' Building Collapses. 7| The Merchants’ building - on. the Berlin fair ground collapsed yesterday weight of the | snow. This is the third structure on | the grounds to give way to the ac- | cumulation of snow and ice from the ! past storms. The committec in charge of the grounds has come in for con- siderable criticism for not having cleared the snow from the roofs when it was seen that the other building | had collapsed due to the strain. The damage done ta the various buildings about the zrounds will run into the thousands, taking into consideration the present cost of labor and material. This building has been used for ex- hibition purposes by merchants and manufacturers during the last several | vears and was counted on as being one of the best and strongest structures on the grounds. lLast year there were several goverhment exhibits and the | ear before the war department dis- played several pieces of ordnance in this building. | Berlin Yards, Congested. 0 (reight cars are stalled in the Berlin freight yards ow- ing to the storms and embargoes now in effect on the New Haven road.

The approaching special meeting called for March 3 to the annual tax has led to a few dictions as to the probability of sion of the question. The popular ing the rate. accompanied by discus- opinion is that the tax rate will r main at its present figure. 171 mills. A few citizens predict that it will be raised to 18 mills but this seems improbable if the drguments on the other side are heeded. Robert C. Usher, who has heen town clerk for many years and who has had a splendid oppoptunity to ob- serve the usual trend of public opinion m this matter, discussed thc tax rate this mornin Mr. Usher helieves that the town necds a little higher tax rate than it hus at the present time to pay for thc maintenance of the schools. Experience has taught him, however, that the voters of the town are ave to voting for an in- crease. It is very certain that not be reduced as the expense maintenance of the schools has in- creased considerably within the past year. The voters rccently granted an increase of $200 to each tcacher in the schools for this vear's work. The increase fataled $3800. and the rate for 1920 must be fixed with a view to paving additional burden the funds of the town treasury.
