February Tax Payment.

The tax receipts at the office of Treas
urer Windus for the mouth of February
smashed all records for any single pre-
vious month, Notwithstanding that this,
being the first taxpsying month of the
year IS usually the lowest, SAYS the Ca
zette. Taxes become receivable Febru-
airy &. IN tho % succeeding days of the
month $63,479.70 we're receipted for; but
the rush was so great that many OF the
mail remittsnces remain untouched as
yet, and cannot even be estimated.
Suffice to say, that the big office safe is
loaded with these, and they viii greatly
swell the amount. That for which re-
ceipts bad been issued up to March
WAS is l-2 per cent of the total tax levy
for the year-paid in the first % days.
ol the total amount, $27,066 was real
estate tax and 500, 131 personal. OF the
real, 80 per cent was paid in full in
order to take advantage OF the per cent
rebate allowed on real tax if paid be-
fore March s. This was not paid under
compulsion and plainly shows easy
money conditions prevailing. Those
taking advantage OF the rebate clause of
Che law saved $76277. The remaining
3 per cent of the real tax were half pay
ments.
The payments OF the different years
were as follows: For 1899, 500, 1921
for 1898, $6,5844 Al; for 1897, 1925. 95
for eS96, $8l.16; for 1895, $94.09; for
1894, $91,42; for 1898, $2Ol. 30. For tie
years prior to 1898 the collections go to
the current expense fund and are not
included in the above.
Other receipts OF the county for the
month were Fees of officers, $Il6I.3O;
taxes prior to 1893, $13l; miscellaneous,
$26. Total, $13l83O. This, added to
the tax collections, brings the total re-
ceipts OF Whitman county'for the month
Of February to ,798,09.
The disbursements for the month were:
From school district fund, S., 329. Oh;
special school fund $3,527.91; road
district fund, 1919. "A; road and bridge
fund, $628.70; current expense fund,
$5,872.43. Total, 1886 40.
The total receipts for January were
$l6,876.20, and the disbursements $22,-
2S6.l2, bringing the county's income
since January Ito $81, 674.29 and the
disbursements to $3S ,622.6l.
All over the state payments were
larger for the month than ever before.
In Spokane county over 100000 were
paid in. In Columbia county in the en-
tire year of 1898 but lO45 tax receipts
were issued, and in 1899 but 1147. Dur
ing February alone this year 1918 tax
receipts were issued,
