One would think that the ten per cent additions would be enough to prompt people to hand !n their lists, but this is not so. We hear a great deal of talk about Waterbury's alleged high rate of taxation and yet many who think they are paying, more | than they ought to have not enough interest in the matter to call at the as- ! sefsor's office and tell the clerk how much property they own.
