sideration Senate bill No. l52, entitled an

that should said bill become law, saving
would be effected thereby amounting IN
round numbers to $48, 900 IN the compensa-

effect a further saving Of $50, 900 upon the
collection of State licenses; that upon the
collection of delinquent taxes during the

many of them greater than the State tax.
