DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE,
City Hall, June l. 1872. ;
FEyAXPAYERS ARE REMINDED THAT THE TINE
IL is fast passing away in which they can pay
CITY taxes without heavy costs.
1t is perhaps net generally known that the mere
register of tax bills in the office of the Recorder of
Mortgages constitutes lien upon all the delin-
quent's property, and no transfer can be made
until the bilf is paid with all the costs.
Taxes may now be paid as follows: 20 in
cash S IS IN five eighths return tax certificates
of appropriation school certificates or metropolitan
police warrants.
The extraordinary discount at which these obi
cations can be bought goes far to neutralize the
just complaint Of heavy taxes, while the purpose
for which the cash is required viz: to pay the in
terest the bonded debt, appeals to the patriot
ism Of every citizen who desires to redeem our city
from its embarrassments, which can not be done
unless the credit of it's bonds is preserved.

that Socha's place was nuisance to the

tone down the loud tones of persons who

fail to utter anything better than vile dis
