WEI Put on Liens,
Tax collector w. J. Hemingway has
sent out notices to those III arrears
for last years taxes that by the end
Of the month he will have to put liens
on he property to protect the towns
claims unless a settlement is made
The amount of unpaid taxes on the
collectors books is not very large.
Liens will also be put on some real
estate because Of the failure of the
owners to pay the one and One-fOurth
mill tax levied to raise money to cover
the expense which attended the in
VestigatiOn of the sewer problem few
years ago. Only taxpayers whose
| property is located in the sewer dis

! completed its work Town Clerk Usher
! has been able to start the tax col
| lectOrs books. He hopes to ave the

of the making ont Of bills before next
month when taxes arc due.
