PAWTUXET VALLEY
ConsiabIoS Will Get Warrants
For Those Who Neglect TO
Pay Poll Taxes. School
Boys Shoulder Fractured.

Constables Falvey and Soucy. who are
endeavoring To collect the poll taxes In
the town OF Warwick, are not making
much progress. Some 800 notices have
been distributed and but a proportion OF
those who received them have settled.
The constables have completed their
work In two districts with very little re-
suits and as they intend TO collect every
poll tax due they will secure writs for
all or those refusing TO pay. The con-
stables have done nothing but try TO col
lect poll taxes for the last 10 days and
they do not feel the total amount OF cash
collected would pay them for their trou-
bic. Perhaps when the towns people
learn Of the extrtme measures the au-
thorized collectors will use TO force pay
ment they will visit Mr.. Soucys Office
on Cursor street and pay up. However,
all poll taxpayers who have received no
tices and do not forward the 81 and extra
20 cents before Monday may expect
speedy arrest on warrants.
