Il Is estimated that there are about 1000 car owners who have shown delinquency this year. But the drive will not only be on the f932 list but also on past years lists where delinquents are found.
 Ut is not fair to ask the prop erty owners to settle up in full and leave the auto owners go free. said Tax Collector Ennis to-day. Those persons whose cars cannot be found will be served with alias warrants by members of the police department and . brought into court"
 City officials explained to-day that auto owners are well able to pay registration and license fees to the state and yet are reluctant to pay their taxes to the city,. It was added that their reluctance to cooperate with the city makes the burden heavier for real property owners and serves to keep up the municipal tax rate.
 Last year in Bridgeport all cars owned by delinquent auto owners were taken in the day before July Fourth and numerous holiday jaunts ruined.
 Steps are being taken now to have the cars taken in by the local authorities parked on the property on Meadow street adjoining the public market. The city will not only charge the tax bills but also the costs of taking possession and also the charges for storage.
 Car owners who did not settle up on the one-half of the 1892 bill during May will now be required to pay the full 1892 levy, plus inter- est and costs, in other words. 1t was pointed out.
