COLLECTING LESS TAXES
EUT II IS NOT A BAD SIGN, AS THE
LEVY WAS LESS.

Six counties have made returns to the
state auditor for June settlement of
taxes. With but one exception there is
a noticeable falling off in the amounts
collected, as compared with year ago.
The clearaneel tax sale was held in May,
and the logical deduction would be that
the sale would swell the tax collections
for Tune.
2 Just the contrary is true, and Douglas
county alone shows an increase for the
current year over the corresponding pc
Rod a year ago.
State Treasurer Koerner expects the
daily receipts of his office from tax col
lections made under the June settlement
and returns for interest and principal of
land contracts will run between $4,000 and
100000 for some time to come Yester-
