FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
The finance committee reported as fol-
lows: We have carefully examined the
report of the city tax and license collec-
tor on the collection of the first half of
delinquent taxes, for the year 189394.
We regard this report although not
strictly in compliance with section 81 of
ordinance No. $50, as substantially all
that is required by said ordinance.
The other method would entail
larger amount of clerical labor for tho
tax collector, and the result obtained
would not be of greater advantage to
the city than that arrived at by the re-
port presented by this com mmittee, which
contains full and complete list of all
delinquencies upon the first half, which
said delinquencies amount to 500, ,315. 90.
