Photo, Faber Automobile Tax Hikes Due to Statewide Change by Susan Faber Watertown taxpayers concerned thattheirautomobile taxes went up this year are not alone. In all but four municipalities, a new statewide system has adjusted the tax on some cars, resulting in increases in some cases. Resident John Quinn noticed that the assessed value of his car had gone up, producing a $3 hike in his tax bill. Watertown-Oakvillc Taxpayers Association President Frank Me Hale said his assessment increased by S475 this year. "Why weren't we told before the referendum that automobile taxes were going up?" Mr. Quinn asked Town Council members at Monday's meeting. "I think we should have been notified." Resident Daniel Zuraitis complained that a car bought for $300 may be assessed at $1,100. "It's taxation without justification," Mr. Zuraitis said. "I sympathize with them," commented Town Manager John Salomone later. "We were following the state guidelines. Only certain older models went up. Some were depreciated, some in- creased, some adjusted. The adjustments were relatively minimal." Membersof Oakville'sltalian-AmericancommunityandCercemaggiore Community Club gathered in If an assessment for a Watertown resident goes up by $500, he downtown Oakville Sunday afternoon to form a spirited caravan of cars and trucks—many decorated explained, it is multiplied by the .01923 mill rate to equal a $9.61 tax with bunting, streamers, banners and Italian flags — that would take them on a horn-blowing hike. procession to Waterbury's Pontelandolfo Club where the World Cup soccer final between Italy and The new system aims to make automobile assessments consistent d Brazil was being shown in television.

  • A Novel by Luis Soto-Ortiz (A.K.A
    Of Wanders and Lust A Novel by Luis Soto-Ortiz (a.k.a. Popmartfan) Version 1.0 (Abridged) Dear Reader, I began writing this novel in April 2017. The challenge I imposed on myself was to write a short story or play where the characters are musicians and what they say comes from their own lyrics. I did not know what the plot would be about but nevertheless I embarked on this project with enthusiasm. Eventually some themes came to my mind and I slowly developed them into different scenarios. This project grew to become the short novel that you are about to read. There are many relevant themes in this novel, some of them sad and others uplifting. You will see a group of musicians traveling together to different cities who, despite their different political and religious beliefs, they nevertheless stay together and help each other overcome difficult situations. You will see that the novel has several protagonists (heroes and heroines) which I will let you figure out who they are. You might even identify and relate to some of the characters. Although there are very serious themes that the novel touches upon, there are also many lighthearted moments which I hope will make you laugh or at least bring a smile to your face. I do not mean to insult anyone by the jokes or events depicted in the novel. I am not planning on making any money from this novel because I am using lyrics that are copyrighted. I do hope that by reading this novel you become a better person, someone who is more sensitive and appreciative of cultural, political and gender differences.
