Most of these are songs often heard, but their individual treat ment made them new and arresting, sung with that charm of manner which is Kullman'S.
 A program like that presented last night had much that was en- tirely familiar, Just another typical tenor artists program, you might say. But invested With the color and technique that derives from the singers musicianship every song might have been new,
 Throughout the program you were aware of an expert musician at the plano. And Mir. Stuart Ross not only gave a splendid performance all along the musical way with MT. Kullman but he also added to the joy of the evening With Mem delSsohns Prelude; Chopins Etude in A Flat; and Chaminade's $ Concert Etude in c Major He added to this group Of three his own arr rangement of Fritz Kreislers "Lie- besfreud."

Mayor John S. Monagan today denied any intent Of the city to collect taxes twice" as implied by the ad appearing in The Water bury Democrat yesterday sponsored by the Council of Community Clubs.
 The Council in its ad, contended that the lo46 taxes were of "ques- toned validity" and that payment of an unquestionable tax bill may result in a total loss of the money paid"
 "The city has no disposition or desire to collect in any taxing period more than the taxes neces- sary to finance and maintain the budget for the period" the Mayor said.
 Tax collections today continued steadily with long lines again form ing outside of the office of Humbert E, Mangini. The latter said that over $20, 900 had been taken in the past few days through the cash windows and more was received by mail but not yet computed.
 The Council in It's ad yesterday urged protest payments" by the taxpayers and offered a form letter to signify the protest which would be included with the payment. At press time today no one had yet resorted to this type payment.
 The ad further claimed that tax payers should not pay their bills until after results of the special session are known, and asked that payments be deferred until June 1. It also suggested sending q "eov- ering letter" with the check or money order stating that payment is involuntary and under pro- test"
