 TAXPAYERS The official limits Of Phoenix do not include all Of the city A sight-seer would not know oftentimes that he is about to step out side the corporation limits, as the streets bounding that sacred precinct are mute and tell no tales. AS far as he can see there are just as many houses On the other side of the street, outside of the limits, as there are in it and, in fact, it would seem that there are more, at times. Therefore when one talks or writes of Phoenix he does not always mean the circum scribed area over which the municipal government holds sway. When one writes about assessment figures, how ever. he deals only with what is really the heart of the city. Yet in this cir cumscribed area there are between l 200 and 1,5G0 taxpayers, according tc the assessment rolls of City Tax Col lector Foster, and number of these taxpayers are heavy ones, too. No doubt many Of these gentlemen would disclaim possessing so much wealth, but the figures do net lie, and an ln- spection is quite interesting. It is found that there are ffty-siX taxpay- ers who are assessed for property val Ged at $10,003 or more. There arc three who are assessed for over S60,- 900; six for S50,000; one for over S4O,- poo; five for over 30,000; nineteen for over s20,000, and the balance of the original number given for S10000 and over. Taxes are due on and after the 10th and postal card notices to this effect will be sent to each taxpayer by the city tax collector.
