There is determination to collect that personal tax in New London and the special tax collector has handed a list of the delinguents to the prose- cuting attorney. Warrants will soon be issued and those who have not paid the required tax will have to call at the collector’s office and settle or tell in the police.court the reason why. As it will cost less to settle with the col- lector rather than pay fine and costs for not complying with the law, it is probable that the collector will have to put in just a little overtime in the near future The prosecuting at- torney must issue warrants according to law and the police are obliged to make service, so there seems to be no chance to dodge that particular tax. This action on the part of the collect- or is not optional on his part, but in line with his swern duty, so his friends and those who are mnot his friends are in the same categery. Those whe have paid the tax for last vear were on the verge: of declining to pay for the present year, in many instances, for the reason that the oth- er fellows were not compelled to fol- low suit.
