It can only, be accounted for either by carelessness or cowardice, many collectors not wishing to bother wi the small amounts and not wishing cause personal offense to their neighbors, and thereby joepao dlzlng‘thelr own chances of continuing to hold the same office In the future. At this time not one~tenth of the tax is paid except by those paying property tax, and they having to pay the whole tax not paid by these against whom it is assessed. Every town once each yeafI‘ has to pay to the treasurol of the state 82 per head as a military commutation tax for each person subject to do militnr duty and not exempted for cause. This sum, In nearly every town, is far in excerpt of the amountIeollocted For in- stance. new: Haven pays annually over $20, 000 more than is collected. Hart- ford own 313 000, Bridgeport over 818,- 000. Merideu over $6. 000. The propor- tion In about the same throughout the state. The state being the sole beneficiary of this tax. the state should collect it. Each town is compelled every year to make an appropriation for the pur- pose of making out a military enroll- ment. The state receives every dollar oi this money. and It is unfair thattho towns should bo‘compolledto be at the expense of making the enrollment.
