Naugatuck, June 24--Tax Col. lector James Fitzgerald expects to finish by Wednesday the task oi sending out tax bilis on the 1884 grand list, due July 1, 1885, he told the Democrat today. This year a larger number than last year will be sent out, the total being 444s bills.
 He has been extremely busy the past few weeks, working both dur- ing the day and in, the evening getting the bills ready. Many of them have been sent out already.
 There is a 19 mill tax on local property. Attached to the July bill is e bill for the tax due in Decem- Der, 1885. This is a five mill tax. Although 1t Is not necessary this latter bill be paid now, all who wish to pay both bills at once. that is in July, can do so, the tax col lector said. He pointed out none could wait until December to pay their July bill, however.
 Those who pay only the July bill next month, and this Is usually the majority, are asked to remember to keep the December bill as no further bill for the December tax will be sent out. If there is any question as to the correct amount of tax on the July bill, the tax collector should be informed at his oce in the town hall before the tax 3s paid.
 Mir. Fitzgerald points out that 1t would be easier and more advis- able for many auto owners to pay both the July and December tax on their auto in July. He said be- cause the December tax is only a five mill one, 1t is small on autos, not amounting to much over ono dollar in some cases. It would savo owners the bother of appearing again in December if they pay both bills In July, he points out.
 The tax collector also asked the Democrat to express warning to many property owners who have net yet responded to notice that liens will be put on their properties if they do not pay the tax on the grand list Of 1888, due last July, 1884.
 Saturday of this week Is the final day for such payments, MT. Fitz. gerald declared. Lien notices were mailed several months ago to about 300 persons who had not paid this tax. The response since then has been quite slow, he said today. If the tax Is not paid by Saturday. liens will he laid on the property. This is required by state law.
 The tax collector anticipates a busy week.
