Res0l0ed, That the Administrator of FL
nance be authorized to employ a suitable
person or persons, III shall be charged
with the collection of past due tax bills and
licenses; provided the compensation for
such service shall not exceed five per cent.
In presenting the resolution Mr.. Walton
stated that the late Assistant City Attorney,
recently returned a large number Of tax
bills, which he said would cost more to col.

be made out Of them.

.vided the person employed did not get by
that means a continuous contract for a
good many years. Such a thing had hap
pened before in the history of the city gov.
eminent. He therefore moved that the
