About What Will Come Into the CITY


Treasury This Month
There Is not much money in the city
treasury now. bui there will be before
the end of the montl-rei.it::aly speak
ing. Taxes are due to be paid Ju!v j,
but. under the law. the time is mer-
cifully extended to the LIST of December.
after which time. if they are not paid.
an additional per cent is added and
the Treasurer is directed to collect.
payer to come up with his taxes. the
Treasurer. under the law. must pro-
coed to collect by levy. SIX months
from December is given the official in
which to perform this unpleasant duty
The point to the story is that it is
human to put off paying taxes as long
as possible, and also convenient; it is
convenient to pay them before the ad-
ditional per cent. becomes operative.
This is why, In the next three weeks.
there is gong to be an inpouring OF
cash TO the treasury. Probably not
more than one-hundredth of the taxes
have been paid up to this date. BY the
last of the month at least two-t thirds
will have been paid. aprpoXimating, in
amount. about $4,000, the entire taxes
of the city. on a valuation OF about
So.o0OO00. amounting to somewhere in
the ncighborhood of SEQ 600
over half of the amount that will be
paid in before the end of the month
will come from three corporations. the
Old Dominion Land Company which
will pay something like $4,000: the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Company. which will put up some
$4,000: and the Chesapeake & Ohio
whose taxes amount to about s3.S0o
The remainder will come from smaller
concerns and general sources

THEY GOT THEIn MONEY

There was little money to the credit
OF the School Board for salaries Sat
urday morning when the teachers pre-
scented their warrants to Treasurer Cur
US but the good-hearted guardian of
the city's funds decided that it was the
proper thing to pay she ladies their
money when it was dug and he honored
every warrant rendered him.
BY SO doing Mr.. Curtis overdrew the
school account by several hundred dol
lars. but the second apportionment of
school funds by the superintendent of
public instruction more than covers the
amount and when he receives a check
for the amount due this city he will
have something to the credit Of the SAL
airy account.
There will be no trouble about getting
sufficient money to pay the teachers
hereafter as thousands of dollars in
taxes vii! be paid into the city treasury
before December l, and a goodly portion
Of this goes to the school fund
SECOND APPORTIONMENT
A circular has just been issued from
the Department Of Public Instruction
giving the apportionment of the

cruing from an appropriation made by

the accumulated interest on its invest
ments Of the Literary Fund. The rate
is % cents per capita of school popula
ton. The salaries of county and city
superintendents of schools, the expenses
Of the central office and the appropr-
ton for summer normal have to be
deducted from this fund. The appor-
tiorment is as follows: Newport News,

private place. whereupon the stranger
called the officer a few blankety blank
