GRAND JUROR WILL
 ISSUE WARRANTS FOR
 WESTPORT TAX EVADERS
Collector Oates Has Submitted the Names of 100 Residents to Grand
 Juror Bradley.

westport, June 16-Tax Collector Patrick Oates has submitted to Grand Juror Edward B. Bradley a list of more than one hundred male residents OF &he town who are delinquent in the matter of their perso1ial taxes. These taxes are on the list of 1911 and were due March of last year. The same men are also delinquent on their 1912 tax which became due March 1 of this year. Grand Juror Bradley will draw up warrants some time this week and hand them to the deputy sheriff Or his constables to serve.
 The bulk of delinquents number mostly non-EngIish speaking residents of Efre bown, most of whom are unfa- miliar with the law and the conse- quences of non-paymen There are however several we'll known residents, whose names if mentioned would cause a surprise in many homes In the past when arrests have followed the non-pay yment Of the personal tax, un- less the resident has been able to give sufficient cause for his delinquency, without exception every court in the State has found sains- :he nff-7d
 AS the delinquent 12Gs to pay about three Or four times the original tax, and sometimes even a greater amount, 1t behooves those who have not al- ready visited Collector Oates to do so at once.
 The Board of Selectmen is still waiting for the Connecticut company to make a reply as to their future ac- ton regafding theState street bridge The project of repair, if such is to be accomplished, is held up because of the trolley eoInpanys delaying action If public opinion can be gauged right ly the citizens of the town will never sanction the repairing of the bridge, consfd erdrey that such action would be = ta of fcxx They will consider some sort of slight repairing that will make the bridge safe for vehicles and other traffic if they have to lay out funds so that the trolley cars Of the Connecticut com pany can be run over the span safely, there will be nothing doing. That is unless the company makes some big concessions, such as bearing the big gest part Of the expense. It is not a1- together improbable that nothing will be done with the bridge until next autumn. Then the annual town meet ing will be held when the whole mat ter will be entirely thaeshed out. It is most probable then that the town will call for the issuance of bonds to raise about S150,0 which amount it is considered will construct g, most mod ern draw bridge. The citizens will probably make the bonds $20o, ,o0o, the increase to cover the expense of build ing a new school house
