PAYING UP THEIR TAXES
BUSY SCENES AT THE TAX COLI
LECTORS OFFICE.

Chatham County's Heaviest Taxpayer
The Largest Personal Estate on The
Coll ector's Books Valued at S26O,OOO
The Rush to Pay Before the Books
Closed--Handing in the Amounts in
Sealed Envelopes.
Yesterday was the last day for the pay
ment OF this years State and county taxes
to the Tax Collector. The taxes that are
unpaid will be taken Oft the digest and
put into the SherIf's hands for execu-
ton. There was rush all yesterday, as
is usual on the last day.
The Collectors Office has been crowded
for the past two weeks, but yesterday
and the day before were the two
busiest that the Collector has had.
Quite a number of citizens who did
not want to wait sent their taxes by their
clerks or Office boys. A good many more,
who went to the court house and saw the
crowd in the corridor, went into some of
the other offices, borrowed envelopes, in
closed their taxes and handed the pack
age in to the Collector.
1t was not necessary IN those cases
to wait for the receipt, as it
will be made out and sent to the
taxpayer in day or two. The envelope
system saved time, as those who were
waiting in person were attended to
before the packages were opened.
BIG DAYS WORK.
Altogether about 800 receipts were is
sued between 8 O'Clock and 2, or on an
average one per minute. That was rapid
work, considering the care that needs to
be observed. Every name and the amount
opposite must be turned to in book kept
fnr he vnVrr hat nrdn Do rivn
for the issuance of the receipt.
On Friday 12S polls and 1876 property
taxes were paid. The property taxes
paid that day amounted to $4,000. The
largest amount received yesterday from
single firm or individual was a check for
81, 200 from Broughton street Wholesale
house. In round numbers 2, 400 poll taxes
have been paid and $500 receipts have
been issued up to date for property and
professional taxes.
In 1885 the taxes collected amounted to
100000. This years taxes have been
paid up pretty we'll. Up until the first
OF December they came in slowly, but
since then they have been paid rapidly.
THE INsoLvENT LIST.
There are every year some to be turned
over to the Sheriff for collection, but the
jnsolvents form small list compared to
the whole number of taxpayers. For
1886 the State and county tax was 80
cents on the hundred dollars, cents
more than the year before. Lawyers,
dentists, doctors, insurance agents, pho
tographers and some others pay profess
sional tax OF $40 a year. Ministers of the
Gospel are not taxed on their profession.
Chatham county's heaviest taxpayer is
the Ocean Steamship Company, whose
wharves, warehouses, ships and other
property in this county are returned at
$1,678, 9l5, and for which it contributed to
the State and county treasury a check tor
$15, ITO "a. The Central and Savannah,
Florida and Western railway companies
paw no taxes into the Chatham countys
Collectors Office. The largest private es.
tate on the Collectors books is returned
at $500 600

stone Sidewalks.

The PIERCE Patent Stone and Buildip ne
Company of this city are making stone
which is among the novel features of the
building trade. 1t is an artificial pro-
duction and made in Savannah. Its
durability is well established; 1t is used
very extensively in the West and is CIV
ing perfect satisfaction. Time only har-
dens the material and adds strength to
it. 1t is made in any shape or pattern,
color or design.
The company manufactures this stone
with hole in the centre which is adapted
TO the use OF an iron rod, making the
building earthquake proof. The hole in
the block is the air space for the circula-
tion of air, and has been recommended by
the Florida Medical and Surgical Jour
nal. With the rod running through the
block from the foundation TO the top gives
solidity that is impossible TO obtain from
ordinary stone.
Parties interested in building or in lay.
ing sidewalks should examine this patent,
which can be seen at foot OF William
street, Sheftall woodward. The price 10
less than Philadelphia brick, but more
than ordinary brick, and the durability
and ornamental features much greater
than either. A stone house in Savannah
with the stone manufactured right here
in Savannah is the next in order by the
process OF the Peirce Patent.

THE CITY TANEs.
The Present Bate Not Likely to be
iucreased-The Budget.

iucceased-Ihe Budget.
This is Che time OF year when the prop
erty owDers and business people begin to
wish they had the fixing Of the city tax
rate for the ensuing twelve months. Sa-
Nannah's Aldermen are deVotipg two or
three nights week to the budget for
1887. They do not intend to increase the
tax, which is 80 1917 on 500, and they do
not see how they can decrease il.
some OF the departments have already
exhausted their appropriations and there
Is months expenses yet TO be met. The
fire department, streets and lanes and
water departments will each be in debt
at the end of the year. Each Of these de-
partments has, however, spent money for
improvements that hereafter will need
only To be kept in repair.
A new engine house, engine, horses and
extra men were needed for the better pro-
tecllon or the property in the southern
section OF the city. Broughton street,
Bay and New streets will not have to be
repayed for years. as they have been put
IN splendid condition. The water works
department has expended a part OF its
appropriation in trying to furnish the
city with supply Of artesian water. In
every case the END has justified the eX-
pense.
There is always more or less complaint
about the business tax A dealer in one
line thinks that he pays too much tax and
mat some else should pay more. This
was notably the case with the liquor
dealers this year. They are Directing to
Inc $500 tax and will try to have 1t cut
down. The present board is the one
tnat increased the tax, and there is not
much likelihood that the license will be
cut down, at least not more than q few
dollars. rne liquor tax has not been dis
cussedy yet by the board, but it will proba-
ply be reached during the next meeting
