CrOwding the Treasurer Office.
The few days remaining for the payment
of county taxes, before delinquency sets in,
is filling the office of the county treasurer
to overlooking of itself, but in addition are
the large numbers of citizens who are
struggling to pay street Improvement,
sewer and sprinkling assessments. 1t has
been found necessary to put on five addi-
tional clerks and Treasurer Holt says 9TH
ers will be put on. although he still ex-
| poets the Office to be inadequate in size to
| accommodate the crowds.
The clerks in the office of the controller
and the chief OF the assessment bureau are
/ working until late at nlCht IN order TO gel
the rolls in shape. The rolls show that the
cost to each property owner is heaviest pei
| capita on the Mississippi-street sewer, ow-
ing to there only being three thousand
| persons to bear the expense. The people OF
| this quarter have four assessments to pay
this year for four different sewers.
The total of assessments for street sprink-
ling are about $4,000, and for sweeping the
streets about a ,O00.
