MANY APPLICANTS IN FIELD
 FOR TAX COLLECTORS. OFFICl

With office of city tax collector made vacant by the death of Thomas A. Rob inson. who for twenty-two years has held this place. both the republican and democratic town committees have been flooded with applicants for the office. On Sunday night applicants were expressing their desire to be nominated at the cau- cuses to be held this month, the repub- -licans having received at least eight ap- plicants and the democrats as many, if not more.
 Those that loom large in the repub- lican field, according to rumors that were current Monday. are Fred G. Proth- ero, and Tyler D. Guy. Mir. Prothero seemed to be the man spoken of most frequently as the man for the office while other rumors favored Mir. Guy as the choice of the party to which he be- longs.
 For the democratic candidate the names of Williap0 H. Callahan, chair man of the democratic committee, Jere- miah A. Desmond. Michael J. Curran and C. J. Downes Mir. Callahan. it is said. looms large as the probable choice of the caucus with Mir. Downes running close second Other names were mentioned. but the foregoing seemed to be the most | logical choice of the parties
 The possibility of a contest for the ] nomination at the republican caucus is between Mir. Prothero and Mir. Guy while at the remocratic caucus the possibility | is between MT. Callahan and Mir. Downes | Until the death of Mir. Robinson all seemed harmonious in both camps for | the coming caucuses but now there ap. pears to. be. a strong possibility that | things will not be so smooth as first an i ticipated.
 l The office of tax collector is one of th' most lucrative offices in the city govern
 ment and is a position coveted by many The salary paid the. collector is one pel cent of the taxes collected and proba hly amounts to $3,O00 to $4,0o0 annual ly.
 Corporation Counsel Joseph T: Fan
 ming has decided that the office of cit. tax collector to which Mir Robinson wa
 elected for two year term in June, 1913
 must be filled at the coming June cleo tion. The democratic caucus is to com
 on Friday night and the republican eau
 GUS Monday night.
 The selectInen met Monday mornin
 and decided to appoint Miss Nellie liar
 rington as temporary collector of tn
 town taxes which are now due. What
 to be done about filling the office for tn
 balance of the term is yet to be decided

GARDNER LAKE COTTAGERs
 AROUSED OYER TAX AssEssMl

The residents of the south shore at Gardner's Lake are highly aroused over the treatment which has been accorded them by the assessors of the town Of Salem and they have vowed their pur- pose that this treatment will not be one-sided affair and Do submitted to peacefully
 According to these residents it seems that the assessors have taken it into their heads in the town of Salem to in crease valuations on properties out of all proportion to actual values on such property, and the first the residents in that section knew about this increase was when they received their tax bills recently. Some of them have been dou bled and some tripled, No notices of these increases in valuations by the as- sessors was given to these residents so that they were deprived of the opportu- nity of appearing before the board of relief which the law explicitly states a nonresident is entitled to.
 It looks to the residents around the | lake as if an effort had been made by the assessors of Salem to get some easy money out of these residents and take | advantage of them because of their ab sence, and place improper values upon their property just because of the fact | that they were not residents of Salem. ' | business on the part of the assessors. | Now bill is to be prepared by these | residents and presented to the next ses- l sion of the legislature whereby that sec | tion of the town will be cut off from Sa- lem and added to the town of Montville | where they can get treatment such as human beings are expected to accord one another. The residents of that sec tion have always felt that the taxes
 
 be paid to Montville as the roads of Montville are the roads which are used by these residents, and in justice to Montville they believe that the taxes in this section should go to the town of Montville to maintain these roads
 As one resident said, he would spend a hundred times what it cost in taxes rather than to pay one cent of unjust taxes, and if it took twenty years to get that section of the town annexed to MontviIle there would be a bill in the legislature for the next twenty years un- til such annexation is brought about SC that if the town of Salem hoped to gain anything by adding unjust taxes to non. resident property owners they will have chance to spend it in Hartford trying to get their town from being sliced UT r and added to Montville, town which knows how to treat it's people decently. It has been said that this raise wa. general throughout the town on othel residents aside from those who were nonresident, but on investigation by tn, aggrieved taxpayers they have fount !, there has been no such raise on resi- dent property owners at all, and thi ' was simply camouhage to extrac money from few non-residents an, think that they could get away with ii but there are two sides to all stories an, the property owners around the Iak shore will have their innings, and it wi 2 probably not be as profitable for the as sessors Of Salem as appeared at frs s thought.

 Whitford has always had a reputation as a slippery customer when in the hands of the police, especially since he made spectacular escape at one time by jumping out of the pen in the Norwich police court and dashing out of the court house, up Union street and over Jail Hil to freedom. He can run like a deer and is wary about letting anyone who looks like an officer get anywhere near him.
