FIVE MILL TAX.
Voted at City Meeting-Work of Tax Collector Costello Wins Cemmenda- tion

Mayor Dunn's municipal ice baby had a touch of collie and was given a dose of soothing syrup at the city meeting Monday evening. A keen tax payer asked Corporation Counsel Kel- ley if he had included the receipts from the city's ice plant in his reg ular resume of Willimantic's financial budget. The city's legal advisor re- torted by characterizing the remark as sarcastic and dropped the inquiry like a hot potato The meeting was devoid of other spice.
 Corporation counsel Kelley gave a statement of the city's financial con dition and said five mill tax would be sufficient for this years needs, He complimented Tax Collector Costellos work in securing s60,09S.6S of the $61,- 5T5.10 due on the 1911 tax laid and his resolution for a five mill tax payable June 2<was voted. George F. Taylor. w. c. Norris. John E. Brick, M. E. Lincoln and others asked Lawyer Kel- ley questions concerning the financial obligations and resources of the city which were answered. The propesi- tion to give the permanent control of a portion of Main street to the state was laid on the table. Corporation Counsel Kelley thought if the state highway commission assumed control the city would still be liable for dam ages in cases of accidents.
 NO aci1On was taken on ollng ana watering the streets, the street com mittee having approximately s1.500 balance of the appropriation for that purpose still to expend, It was the sense of the meeting that the city council should authorize Representa- tives Bugbee and Kelley to secure leg islative action for the amendment of the city charter so that the abuttors could be assessed for oiling and sprinkling the streets.
