Legislature for Legislation to overcome
the result OF the ballot. Ono matter he
related in this connection had to do
with tho legislation combining the
duties of the receiver Of taxes to Will
inington instead of allowing him to col
ect for the whole county, provision
being made for a tax collector in each
hurdred outside and two pail tax col
| lectors IN vi mingten. For all these |
additi nal otceholders the st was
more than $4,000 in two years as
against $4,000 paid before when the re. |
cpivsr Of taxes was Democrat. Ard
according to the audit1ra' reports the
| outside collectors had failed to collect
about $50, 900 in the two years.
