 The action taken by the board of f. nance last night with reference to the collection of money due the city was the most important municipal move made in Waterbury in many years It is thought that 1t will reveal a rath CT queer condition of things with ref. erence to sewer, street and paving as sessments, but whether it will or not is something that remains to be seen If it be true that people of large means owe the city large sums of money surely it ought to be collected, and on on the other hand if certain outstand 1 ing accounts are uncollectab1e it is time the public was made aware of the fact. There is no reason why anybody should wonder why such step has been taken at this time. It is some thing that should have been done years ago, but of course it is better now thar later and the board Of finance deserve credit for taking the matter in hand It is not expected that anything vii be done in the way of collecting bach bills but it is fair to assume that ar effort will be made to get the money into the city treasury as soon as possi ble without inficting hardship upon anybody.
