Heming- way of Plainville are considerably | above the average for the state, The | report also states that out of 1631 towns in the state there are only 39 which have a better percentage of tax collections than Plainville, Mr. Seymour has sent a letter to Mr. Hemingway complimenting him on the showing which he has madc. especially on the increase in the pe centage of personal tax dollectiors during the past few years. He also sent the tax collector a tabulated report showing the percentage of collections for Plainville for the past four years on both the property and personal taxes together with a com- parison of these various collections for the state for 1925 and 1927. Mr. Hemingway has been tax col- lector in Plainville for more than 25 years and is well-known for his earnest and untiring work in gath- ering the taxes yearly. He always shows great consideration when collecting taxes and is greatly re- spected for his fairness and honesty. Mr. Seymour's letter to Tax Col- lector Hemingway is as follows: “A couple of years ago I wrote Mr. Blodgett, the state tax commi sioner, requesting information as whether or not the taxes were col- lected in Plainville as well as they were in the rest of the state. “At that time it showed that Plainville was considerably above the average. “A few days ago T received a later report from Mr. Blodgett showing that out of the 169 towns in the state there were only 39 towns which had a higher percent- age of tax collections than Plain- ville, “I am attaching a tabulated re- port showing the percentage of coi- lections for Plainville for the last 4 years both on the property tax ami personal tax, and Mr. Blodgett has also given me a comparison of these various collections for the | state for 1925 and 1927 which show that your collections are consider- ably above the average for the state, “I am sure that the the town would be interested in knowing how the tax collections average up with the rest of the state and 1 am therefore sending a copy of this letter to the New | Britain Herald publication as a news item. “I wish to compliment you showing which you have especia)ly on the increase percentage of personal tax collec- tions during the last few years. Although the current property taxes collected have shown a slight fall- ing off during the last three years, this is something over which you have no control as you can take no steps to hasten collections until taxes are at least one year over- due.” residents of f on the| made in the Tabulated Report The report prepared by Tax Com- missioner Blodgett on all propertty taxes collected and abated is as follows: 1928, 92.1 per cent; 1 f 93.9 per cent, state, §2.7 per cent; 1926, 93.6 per cent; 1925, 94.2 per cent, state, 77.5 per cent.
