II will be remembered that when the
question of a state refOrmatory was being

training of the bright young minds

ABOUT TWO MORE WEEKS.
Taxpayers Lining up Daily in Capt.
McGowan's Office,

Taxpayers have just about two weeks
now to get even with the state, and while
the last day has not been definitely deci-
ded on, there are not many more days left
in which to settle.
Taxpayers, too, are realizing this, and
for the last week or ten days have been
hOcking to the Office Of the tax collector
in droves. Al any time during the Office
hours. from a. III. 10 p. m, a long lue
OF those who don't want to go on the de-
linquent list can be seen from the hall 10
the collectors window. and there is no
apparent decrease in the numb Der until af-
ter the office closes. Besides Capt. Nc
gOwGn, the collector, three clerks are
now employed in the Office to keep mat
ters straight, and all have their hands
full As the time to close the digest
draws nearer the daily crowds grow
larger, and if most Of those who have not
vet paid. don't get in within the next ten
days or two weeks the last day will see
something of a large crowd, with envel-
opes flying over the counter railing, and
requests that receipts be mailed to them.
Capt. McGowan's announcement about
those who were subject to specific taxes,
seems 10 have had its effect in a large
measure, as nearly everyone has taken
pains TO avoid deliuquencies on that score,
but there are some few still on the list of
specific taxpayers, who have but a short
time now in which to pay up and avoid a
levy.
