"Slowly but surely. Nearly SO per cent.
OF the $4,000 arrearages Is due upon
United States and District property, as also
upon property owned by church assocla-

appoint O trustee upon property that

they could borrow the amounts, even II

duty. There are taxes due that likely will
never be paid. There are also few estates
here where the taxes and penalties have
been allowed to go unpaid year after year
until the amounts due for taxes overreach
the market value Of the property. 1t Is,
therefore, an important matter that lust
