Because of the failure of the legis- lature to appropriate funds whereby the city might receive the sum of §44,000 | which has been included in the esti- mated income for this year, together with a falling off in the payment or taxes may make necessary the levy of a special tax before the end of the fiscal year, city officials believe. The bill which would have given the city its state grant for schools has been passed over by the governor with a pocket veto. Collector Bernadotte Loomis re- ports difficulty in collecting taxes, property owners explaining that it is not possible for them to do so on time this year, due to the industrial de- pression. If the income is not suffi- ciently large to pay the expenses of the city departments, it will be neces- sary. for the city to provide means of raising money and the tax will be nec- essary, it is explained. State Tax On Gasoline Is Effective Tomorrow The state law calling for a tax of one cent a gallon on gasoline will go into effect tomorrow. The bill was intro- duced in the legislature and its passage urged by Senator John Trumbull of Plainville. The tax is to be paid by the user at the service stations. * ' ¢ ‘rae weatuer. o ?
