SATURDAY RECORD ECLIPSED.
Cashier Smith Handles 2,SS9 Receipts
i'm the Treasurer's Office.

Yesterdays work in the county treasur-
er's office completely surpassed all records
ever made in that office. The total number
of receipts handled by Cashier Smith was
2,SS9. representing s115,GOO. which exceeds
the record of Saturday by 366, and the rec
ord of Saturday was far beyond any that
had ever been made. Besides this number
of receipts and amount of money handled,
nearly a bushel basket full of mail was re-
ceived that estimated to represent be-
tween 100000 and 100000. Mail was re-
ceived up till o'clock. Exclusive of the
mail the total amount of the fall Install
ment paid in is about 100000, which greatly
reduces the average number of dein-
QuentS.
The rapidity with which the taxpayers
were handled enabled nearly all that came
to the treasurers office to pay without
waiting any great length of time. When
the office closed there were but twelve re-
ceiptS that had not been called for.
Beginning with this morning all who
have not paid their taxes will be placed
on the delinquent list and the penalty will
be enforced.
