HEAVY TAX ON TAFT's AUTO.
Secondhand Car Assessed at Nor
Than Twice Cost.

New Haven, Conn. Jan. 16.-Prof. Will
lam Howard Taft, Of Yale, Is dissatisfied
with the tax levied upon his automobile
by the city. Recently he received tax
bill showing that the assessors had rated
his machine as worth 1850. To this 10
per cent had been added upon his failure
to appear within the required time and
swear to his tax list. This brought the
total on which the 1s-miIl tax is COM
puted up to $3.50.
In a letter to the assessors Mr.. Taft in
formed them that he purchased the car
second hand. paying only 5000 for it,
and fails to understand how they can
rate il at $500. The outcome of the
matter is being awaited with considerable
interest.
Although Prof. Taft owns real estate
in New, Haven, he did not have title to
it when the assessors were making up the
list last spring, and is not taxable this
year.
