gasoline sold. In his opinion this would eliminate the present loss in the personal tax enumeration which runs close to sS00,000 yearly in the state.
 Questioned by members of the club regarding such a large loss on the automobile assessments he brought out the fact that the period between the filing of the lists and the collection of taxes is so long that many things can happen. A person may move out of the state, may sell his or her car or other personal pro- perty and no record is obtainablc. One of the most common things that happen is false registration. As reg istraton is the only method the as- sessors have of checking up on car owners, many get away without pay ment of taxes in this way, Chairman Lindcr explained.
 In one case a woman came to him with two bills for the taxes on two cars which she was supposed to have had.
 But" she protested. q do not own any car and I do not know q thing about them" Someone had registered two cars in her name. She was billed and the other escaped without payment.
 Contrary to the hue and cry raised occa asionally by various organ izations and individuals regarding the high rates supposed to be in effect in New Britain, this city is very close to the bottom of a list Of almost 100 cities of similar size" Chairman Linder brought out New Britain is tied with Portland, Maine, for the honor of being the city in the eastern states with tho lowest tax rate.
