CITY TAXES.

The city tax collectors are now busy res
ceiving the city taxes for 1878, as dis
count of five per cent is made on all taxes
paid during July, and the month is almost
gone, The tax rate established by Council
is three cents on the $100 less than last
year, but instead of finding their taxes re-
duced most people find them increased, as
the reduction in the rate has been in most
cases more than nullified by an increase Of
the already high assessment. On all taxes
paid during August the face of the bill will
be demanded, while in September and Octo-
bes five and ten per cent respectively will
be added. People had therefore better be-
stir themselves aud pay their taxes during
the next few days.-Gazette.
