The books Of the tax collector closed for
the year yesterday. Taxes paid after the
close of the books are subject to int crest
and the sheriff's costs of collection. There
are many taxpayers who are in this pre-
atty of their delay.
1t is a rather unusual occurrence that
all who are anxious to pay their taxes on
the last day when the books are open are
able TO do so. There is usually long line
still left when the doors close, but t.
wards O'Clock yesterday it dwindled
away. and by straining a point and keep
ing open a few minutes after the hour. all
in the line were accommodated.
Many taxpayers placed the amounts
due by them to the state and county in
envelopes and handed them in through the
window. Some of the payments made in
this way were by the agents for various
estates, one agent sometimes representing
a dozen estates or other principals. AS
there are about 300 of the envelopes, it can
be understood readily that there Is work
enough here to keep the office busy for a
day or two The fact that some of the
amounts are not correct further compli-
Gates the work. and Tax Collector Nc
Gowan asks those who paid in this way
to be patient until he can find time to send
them their receipts. This win be within
two or three days.
After il has been definitely determined
just what taxes are due and owing, the tax
collector will begin making out the tax
execution docket, which will be placed in
the hands of the sheriff Of the county

HARBOR FUNDS TIED UP.

Washington special in the Morning
News quoting Chairman Burton of the
River and Harbor Committee of Congress
as saying that it is possible that no river
and harbor bill would be reported at this
session Of Congress because of the high
price of materials, the heavy appropria-
ttons which IL will be necessary 10 make
to the army and navy and for other rea-
sons. caused some little apprehension here
as 10 the effect of such action on the Sa-
vannah river and harbor improvements.
With, no river and harbor bill reported
at this session further appropriations for
such work might be delayed for a year
to come. The attention of Capt c, A.
Gillette. engineer in charge of the govern
ment work of this district was called to
the matter. While not inclined to attach
any great importance to the report, Capt.
Gillette said that il was difficult to say
whether such action by Congress would
affect Savannah unfavorably or not. There
is still about $4,000 to the credit of the
river and harbor work at Savannah on
account of the breakwater project This
amount Is now tied up because of the an
nulment OF the contract with the Atlantic
Contracting Company and the decision Of
the war department 10 abandon the break
water scheme.
Capt. Gillette said that It would prob
ably be necessary for Congress to pass
upon the recommendations which have
been made for a change in the plan of
work here before the sum mentioned can
be made available.
