TAX COLLECTOR IN BRISTOL
 ON TRAIL OF AUTO OWNERS
Riley Decides to Take Action Against Delin- quents Who Dodge City Assessment.
tspsc,ai to the Hsrald.)


 Bristol, July 9.-Immediate steps will be undertaken by Tax Collector Francis B. Riley to secure the pay ment of city taxes on motor cars, according to an announcement from his office this morning. The collec- tor has a large list Of unpaid car taxes on his books. To date the mo- tor car collections have been any thing but responsive. According to the state laws, the cars may be held for the taxes due, so that action will be taken to see that the ec- counts are settled. As few people bother about car taxes, when ma chimes are sold, many used car own CTS may receive bills, which are really due from former owners. However, as the taxes were not mentioned when the tranefers were made, the new owner may have the unexpected pleasure of paying sev- eral years taxes on & machine he has owned for a few weeks or days.
 A report from his office this morning shows that out of a general city tax tor 1925 of s715,SI0.65, Mir. Riley has collected &591.63s. This is a larger proportion for the months of June and July than has been col- lected in several years and is 2 per cent more of the total than was paid on time than last year.
 As the biggest proportion Of the unpaid tax lays against motor cars. the action against the owners must be taken in order that the collector may follow out his duties

 The grand list for 1925 amounts to S2S9,O0O.00 10 which will be add ed approximately s21.OOO,000 from roassessment of property in West vile and Fair Haven. Added to the taxes derived from these figures Is the amount secured from levyinE a 3 mill tax on property in the S@nd ward which last year was valued at .$5,691,SS7.
 At 24 mill rate, the city would receive $7,370,6S7 in taxes. From sources other than taxes the board of finance estimated last year that the city would receive this year $l,- o2H04o. making the citys income total SS.4oS,727.
 The total estimated expenses for this years as figured hv the board of finance amounts 10 $S.o65,256.
