The city treasurer has found collecting
rather easier this year than it was a
year ago The difficulty in the work and
nearly all the losses come on the poll tax,
Comparison with the work done in other
cities shows that we have teen more sue
ccssful in securing this tax in Augusta
than have most other municipalities.
The suggestion has been made, and there
appears to be much to commend it, that
an amendment should be made TO the
registration law requiring applicants for
position upon the check lists to show
receipts for their poll taxes If they have
mslaid or lost them it would be a very
easy matter to call mt the city treasurer's
office and secure duplicates. Undoubtedly
the passage of such an amendment would
aid materially in the collection of this
tax and certainly there does not appear
to be any very good reason why II man
who does not even pay a poll tax in the
community should be permitted to par
ticpate in its affairs.
