Tax Collector McKeon Makes
 This Statement
Residents Urged to Pay Early in January to Avoid End of the Month Rush; Interest Charged
 After January 3I
NAL GATUCK Correspondent, Larry Shepley-PhOne Naugatuck 3s4s

the fve-mill property tax is ex- pected to start in real earnest this week, Tax Collector Patrick F. McKeon said this morning.
 Some property holders have al eeady paid this tax but most have mot yet done so. This levy is as- sessed only to residents of the in side tax district.
 Bills for it were sent out last June with the July tax bills Inter est will be charged after Jan. 3l
 MT. McKeon urges residents to pay early in January to avoid a rush at the end of the month. The Snoney derived from the tax will help carry the borough during the final part of the fiscal year which ends March 3l, he said.
 Most of those owners who had not paid taxes due last Dec. 3l made payment this month.
 Board Meets Tonight
 Only routine business is expected to be transacted tonight at the monthly meeting of the board of warden and burgesses
 Last month the board ordered the borough attorney, Martin L. Caine. to prepare a bill for submission to the General Assembly requesting the right to issue bonds to finance as sewage disposal plant here.
 Although the estimated cost of the plant was not available last month it may be received in time for tonight's session. The sewage disposal plant is a postwar project and if the assembly grants per mission for the bond issue, it does not mean necessarily that the board will be sought shortly after permission is received Warden Leo J. Brophy said.
 The warden feels that such per- mission should be secured in the event that the end of the war in Europe should occur suddenly and the town would be then in a better position to start the project than if it delayed the request for the bond issuance
 The board is expected to act on the request of John Stevenson. Town Hall janitor. for submission of a bill to the General Assembly which would provide a pension for him.
