COLORED CHURCHES
Consider AdvisabiIity of Unitina-A. M. E. Zion and Baptists May Com


 will the dozen or sixteen members of the A. M. B. Zion church of which Rev. MT. Robinson is the pastor. give up the organization of the colored Methodist church in Wfllimantic and join the colored Baptist church of this city of which Rev. MT. Grimsted is the supplying minister? That is the question being seriously considered by the colored Methodists of Williman- tic. Rev. Mir. GriTnsted, pastor of the colored Baptist church. was formerly minister of the Willimantic A. M. B. Zion church and is popular with number of the members of that church who have left the A. M. E. Zion fold to become affiliated with the colored Baptists. The members of both church. es think the colored constituency about 100 including children-is only large enough to support one coIored church in Willimantic. Some of the A M E, Zion church members object to a substantial amount of the cOllec- tions being used for the support of the conference. They contend that under the Baptist form of church govern ment all their financial support would be used for the maintenance of the local church. One of the trustees of the A. M. E. Zion church stated Tuesday that there was no i'll feeling between the members and Rev. Mir. Robinson, their earnest pastor. Rev. Mr. Robinson leaves for Waterbury today to attend the conference and the bishop will decide whether or not it is advisable to appoint pastor to take charge of the A. M. E. Zion church in this city. Rev. MT. Grim sted the officiating minister of the local colored Baptist church, has not yet served that church year and has not yet been ordained. The trus- tees of the Willimantic A. M. F. Zion church are Stoke Watson, president; Mrs. Hattie E. Toney, secretary; AL bert Harris, treasurer; J. H. Peters and Mrs Queenie Robinson

LAX TAX GATHERING
Citizens Suspicious That 1912 List Was Merely Copied from List of 1Q11

That there was not for the year 1912 a systematic correct house-to- house enumeration made in this town to secure correct list of those liable to pay a personal tax is believed by many citizens. From an examination of the list made by one citizen who is conversant with the situation, the in- vestigator stated he believed the per sonal tax list for 1912 was practically copied from the 1911 list, that persons known to have died or to have re- moved from town were eliminated and such additions were made as came to the minds of those who made up the 1912 list. Citizens think the se- lectmen ought to verify the list for which the enumerator received sub- stantial compensation as we'll as the unpaid personal taxes on the previous list
