Naugatuck, July Assignments Of
property taxes have increased this
week, but the rush has not yet
started, it was learned today from
Assistant Tax Collector, James Bren-
nan.
It Is expected the tax Office will
be besieged next week as it will be
the final week for payment. Resi-
dents have to and including Thurs
day, August /, in which to pay be-
fore interest charges are added.
Next week the large checks from
various factories here are expected
and these will swell the total by a
big amount.
The q. S. Rubber company Is the
largest taxpayer here.
MIR. Brennan reminded that quite
a number paid the tax late in June
and attributed the fact that the
rush had not begun this week to
the fact that many have received
only small pay this week because
of the vacation period at the rubber
company here. -.
He expects that the rush will
start within a few days however.
