The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-02

borough. It seems 10 De the genera belief that this measure will be passed, as it is a we'll known fact that the $200 salary has never com pensated a warden for the amount of work connected with the office In recent years the work has be. come greater, the warden being re- uuired to put in a great amount ot time. The $20O salary was set when the borough charter was adopted in 1893 and has never been changed. The voting on Monday will be in all three wards, the first ward poll ing place being in the borough courtroom in the town hall building, the second ward in American Legion rooms in the Odd Fellows building and the third ward in the Union City hose house.
 The polls will open at 10 o'clock daylight saving time, @ o'clock standard time) and will close at 6 o'clock in the evening, daylight saw ing time.
 Monday the democratic candidates will occupy the top lever on the vot- ing machines for the first time in about 16 years. The change is due to the fact. that the head of the state government is now a democrat

 Hit Back at Charges
 Democratic leaders took the charges of the republicans made yesterday that the deficit for the year as reported by the past admin istration of Warden Green was not correct, with a smile. "The only thing that the republican leaders could say about my administration is that it has done a great deal to- ward alleviating the unemployment situation" His statement coincides with that of other democratic lead CTS yesterday who called attention to the fact that never in the history of the borough had such year been experienced in so far G3 unemploy- ment was concerned. One party member in commenting on the state ment of the g.o.p. said that it looked to him as if the republicans were making an effort to decide the status ot tax collectors instead of party is- sues.
 Tax Collector Charles F. Daly whom the republicans stated in their article yesterday had not collected as much taxes as his predecessor Carl W. Thompson issued the follow ing statement:
 'The annual report of the tax de- partment will show that $483,730.43 was anticipated in revenue from property taxes The report will also show that I collected in taxes. not including the interest and Her charges, $46O,661.S6. leaving diff ference of $23,05S.57 less than was expected from this department. The deficit is not large considering un- settled business conditions and de. pression which we have all shared the past year. It is, true I haven't been progressively intolerant with de- linuuents and with a sheriff's assist ance might have collected more money, but believe most people will agree with my attitude of len- iency and consideration of the other fellows present day problem.
 Comparing my collection with my predecessor isn't fair without considering the taxpayers ability to pay last year with this year.
 "With some evidence of improve ment in local industries, expect de- linquent tax payments will be made as soon as possible to nvoid the in- terest and lien charges"
 Believe All Dogs Registered
 Town Clerk Louis Schiller, Jr. stated this morning that he believed all dogs in the borough had been registered when his office closed last evening. About 700 licenses were issued to owners of canines in the borough. Yesterday was the last day to register dogs without paying an additional dollar to the regular fee.
