II was estimated by the Controller, at the beginning
Of 1859 that of the largo amount of personal taxes
then DUE not $500 600 would ever be realized
out Of 81 IA 649 % of such taxes then due, there
remained due at the close Of last year 81 SOP 1896 g.
the settlements for 1889 being only s2i ,652 49, and
Of this sum- large amount not realized, having
been RENTED abated The Controller congratulaes
the county upon the fact that he has been enabled to
materially reduce the losses to the Country Treasury
by personal taxes and he hopes that the Receiver of
Taxes may hereafter, by proper effort, continue and
extend the good work. TO further this object, he
advocates the making of personal taxes lien upon
the real estate owned within the county by the de-
faulter. provision in the proposed Tax law for
1860 WILL he thinks, prevent any deficiency from nm
maid personal taxes remissions aud Attachments this
year He advocates the commencement Of the
tax collection earlier in the year, as remedy
for the errors and inconvenience arising from the rush
of so many TO the Receivers office, about the same
time and The graduation of the penalties for non-pay-
meni over longer space Of time. The errors In the
