When the judge got through with him. Lowery had req son to believe his dad" the Pomfret officials or the officials in Hartford or some two of the three had put it across on him. When called on to answer he told the judge he had paid his tax in Pemfret. He neglected to pay a tax in this city on the 1916 list until he was cited to appear in court and then instead of paying the S2 per sonal tax, he paid a total of SS.42. Re- gently he was at home in Pomfret an6 he said his "dad'' told him he ha6 better pay his personal tax there. He had paid it and he produced the re- ceipt.

 Lowery read and saw the judge wa right, and consequently Lowery rec ognized he had paid a total of S10.4 on account of the s2 tax original. levied on him. The judge decided tha it was up to Lowery to pay 191 tax in this city with the costs taxa ble for failure to pay, and the tota charged against Lowery was $S.42
 making total of $1S.S. he had to pa, instead of $4 as originally charged fo two years personal taxes.
