Another, and equally as important q
reason for an enrly payment Of taxes is tho
fact that nine 'enths II the errors in the
collection Of taxes occur during and in con
sequence of the rush OF bushes, in the col
lector's Office few days before c'osing tho

and blame the Tax collector for them, when
in fact, it is the fault Of largo majority Of
the people, who delay payment u"til the

10 accommodate all and save MS many as
possible from the penalty, rushes the work
