 Session in Hartford, Green Presiding

upon the current bushes depression, he said.
 Law in Other States.
 No other state has a tax lien law permitting tax collectors to file liens for such long periods as five. 10 or 15 years in lieu of selling properties for taxes, the speaker said, and ex- plained that whereas in other states the fear that real estate would be sold for unpaid taxes was strong incentive for prompt payment, in Connecticut there is no such fear and a penalty interest is needed.
 Mir Blodgett declared that many of the property owners who pay their taxes promptly are as poor as those who are delinquent, and it is gener- ally true that those who are de- linquent in paying their taxes are al- so delinquent in paying their own obligations.
 Refers to Bulletin.
 Reference was made by the speak CT to bulletin of the tax commits sioner on the tax lien law published in 1928, in which a recommendation was made to tax collectors concern ing relief to the needy as provided by Section 3 of the lien law of 1927; this paragraph was as follows:
 Tt is recommended that collectors examine their rate bills for the pur- pose of selecting therefrom the names of all persons entitled to the favor extended to the needy by this section and that such real estate owners be assisted in the prepara- tion of affidavits as may be required in order to obtain the relief which the state intends shall be extended by the generous provisions of Sec tion of this statute. It is suggest ed that the names of those who pre- viously have obtained abatements of real estate taxes be listed and their attention be called to the necessity of filing the request and affidavit re- ferred to in this section of the law"
