PROMPT PAYMENT OF TAxEs.-It is
gratifying to be able to state, that our
city taxes have been paid this winter
with more than usual promptitude.-
The whole amount Of tax levied in the
city for the year 1853, is about $50, 900,
of which amount .$26,oCo has already
been collected. The city Treasurer in.
forms us, that the amount of delinquent
returned this year, will probably not ex.
coed $4,000. Last year the amount Of
delinquent taxes returned in the city
was about Sll, 900. No city in the State
pays more promptly than Kerosha.
