Licenses as well us taxes for the

4. All taxes are due and collectable
on the first day of February in each
year. 1t has been customary to delay
COLLECTIONS until the fall months, but
this is not required by law. and is pro-
ductive of serious Inconvenience to
this Office as we'll as to collectors. You
will be required to use the utmost dbl
ligence- in making as many collections
as possible early in the year. In most
cases it is easy. and in some portions
of the State it is more convenient for
taxpayers to pay in the spring months
than later in the year. In allsuch cases
there is no good reason for delay. and a
change from the former system is desi-
rable in order to relieve this and the
Treasurer's Offices from the confusion
which results from crowding so much
Ut the business of the year into the
last few days of December. and at d
