A SPLENDID Showing
Made by Sheriff BrOnssard in the
Collection of Taxes.

The settlement recently made by
Sheriff Broussard and the parish for
the taxes of 1899 makes very
good showing for that officer.
The total amount OF parish taxes
on the assessment rolls Of 1899 was
S23,ISs.o2 The books show that
Sheriff Bronssard has collected and
t rncd over into the treasury
S2z, o29 IS, which is very near o5
per cent But in the 5 per cent. of
uncoile.,ed taxes, must be included
the taxes charged on erroneous
assessments and property sold to
the State When these items.
amounting to- S637.5o, are taken
into consideration it will be seen
that Sheriff Broussard has collected
and accounted for 90 cents on the
dollar And as he is still collecting
back taxes it will not be surprising
if his collections reach within the
fraction Of cent Of the maximum.
This, we believe, is as good a
showing as was ever made by a tax
collector. 1t also speaks we'll for
the taxpayers of Lafayette parish.
