the tax levied thls year, in this county
amounts to 1926, 811 so. OF this amount
$63 949 "a has been collected. leaving
Sill 1851. Sc still due. All the collectors
with the exceptions of st Georges, APP
poquin mink ard Blackbird, have made
pay ments ranging from one-third tc
one-sixth Of the amount due. WHIST IL
still worse, however, there is still due
from St Georges Hundred S5.6l2 03,

This is rather bad showing, and it is
not surprising that the County Treasurer
