though the whole basis of the in-

cases is ridiculous.- Some of the

From this 'arises injustice'becsuse
the burden to the tax-payer is con-
stautiy growing. In 1913. the total
levies was 012.921 0.00. In 1928.
this has grown to 847. 088.000. Poo-
pie in Connecticut towns cannot say
it is Washington that is increasing
this particular can burden: ft cannot
say it is being done by state officials.
The whole thing goes back to .the

tratlon of th6_fund raised. But on
the other hand, if we increase bur-
dens without nelng' improvements

onions and foolish taxes which
should not be paid."
"I am not trying to be offensive. I
haven't examined the tax lists hare.
I know the tax assessors need the
besteupport of the people. Too often
we consider our personal tax bur—
done without studying the situation
in a broad way. There has. been a
plan developed by which property
may be judged fairly and a relative
vstue obtained. I am referring _to
the Cambridge and Somer'-syst’ems
which sometime I.hope to be able to
time.
"Then there is another angle to
the tax problem. In 1912. the total
amount of uncollrcted taxes in the
state was 8794. 000. In 1923. this
amount had Jumped to 84.185.000.
The increase shows a growing re-
sponsibility “on that feature of the
law. People do not‘ complain so much
of taxes.-but they do complain of

"Norwalk has contributed to the
increase in property assessments. In
