Nearly SO9o of l942's Taxes Accounted for;
 Old=Age Taxes Next

Tax Collector Humpert E. Mangini said today that approximately 80 per cent of the entire years property tax levy has been taken in, in the amount of $4,432,294 This amount was taken in during the period when the first half of the years taxes is due. At this time every year. approximately half the years total levy is collected during this period. MT. Mangini added that this year about three-quarters of the city's taxpayers paid their entire years tax levy during May or be- fore, in order to receive the rebate of 4 per cent year interest on the balance which is not due until Octo- Der.
 He also revealed that the sum taken in the first half of the year is the largest ever collected during his term, and he believes it to be the highest ever collected in that period.
 The tax bill totaled $5,599, 898, for the whole year Eighty per cent Of IIldU WOulu De 9t,f iJ, ,GOUJ OI Ol1ly $40,000 more than the sum now in the til.
 The tax office is now preparing itself for the delinquent old-age taxpayers. said MT. Mangini. The canvass made last October listed 59,714 local residents who were supposed to pay the tax. However, $142, 900 in old age taxes has been collected, pointing out that approXi- mately 47,500 people have made re- mittances, thus leaving balance of 12,000 of those who have not.
 The Hartford tax collector is in veStigating to see if new arrivals to the city, especially war workers from other parts, are on the eligible list to pay the old age tax.
 Those persons who were in the city last October have to pay the old age levy this year, said MT. Mangini. However, the law allows his office to add to the list if it is discovered that persons who were in the city last October were not put on the list then by the canvassers.

 Try Espotabs. They help to empty the colon. This relieves the above ailments. Then most of us feel like our world is happy and good to live in again.
 Eepotabs are from the laboratories of The Dill O.. Norr4stown. Pa., compounders of fine medicines since 1872. Try Espotah, on your colon as directed. See for yourself what a change may come over you tomor- row morning. Phone your druggist for Espotabs- Do 1t now 70 you won't foreet i. 25S.

Pat McCarran (D) New, today

that means chaos" McCarran said.

on the Senate side, Sen. George
Cd Ga, head OF the Finance Com

Department is said to plan rec

10 percentage points on both the
Withholding levy on wages and sal
aries and on corporation rates.
This would boost the corporate
rate from 40 to 80 per cent, while
the Withholding levy would amount
