PERSONAL TAX RETURNS.
The Increase Not as Large as Was
Expected.

The board Of tax assessors and receiv-
ers has completed the work Of summing
UP the personal tax returns for the year.
and a summary was furnished Mayor Ny
ers yesterday for his Information.
The total amount Of personal property
returned for taxation is so. as. Ss2- This
IS an increase OF s, 81, s43 over the personal
tax returns for last year. The increase
is not 50 great as was expected. which
is due to the fact that the assessors
were confronted with heavy reductions in
certain lines which they had not calcu-
lated upon, which amounted to S72,1O0. so
that the assessors really brought in 81,
$4,000 OF new personal property for tax
alton.
Mayor Myers expressed himself as very
well pleased with the showing made by
the board. in view Of the fact that the
members were without experience in their
work and that they had but little time
10 prepare for it. Next year, he said,
aided by the experience Of this year, the
board may be expected to make a still
better showing. There Is also an increase
OF about $4,000 in the returns of improve
ments on real estate. making the total
amount OF new property returned for tax
alton this year over 81 10000.
The statement of the personal tax re-
turns furnished the mayor by the clerk
OF the board is as follows:
