because of their attempts with others to break
JAIL, had commenced to dig under the floor of

the Tax Bill by the Councils last evening, was
seen this morning at the Collectors Office.

continual swarm about the Office who
were disappointed because the Collector was
yet requiring the signature of the Mayor before
it becomes a law. A notice on the door "That
taxes are not yet receivable" and that the
when he was ready to receive the same, had
the effect OF thinning out the crowd.
