COLLECT THE rANEs

A correspondent in another column
makes some very pertinent sugges-
tions relative to the methods of collect
ing taxes in this city. It is known
that there is a large sum due and
owing the city from this source. BY
some this amount is placed as high as
Sl50,000. Under the system in vogue.
persons who comply with the law and
who pay their taxes promptly, are
punished by having the burden of an
increased tax thrust upon them, which
is due to the non-payment OF others.
We venture to assert that no city of
any size In the Union can offer a par
allel in unbusinesslike methods in this
particular
IL is said that in certain instances it
would be a hardship to enforce pay
ment, and, therefore, time is given the
delinquent This being allowed, other
persons able to pay, make excuses, and
the collector is evaded. Many persons
pay all their bills prompby, iuelndpg

LETTERS FROM THR PEOPLE
Urges a New System

To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir; Recently | called your attention
TO the very lax way in which the city
taxes are collected. or rather are not
collected. and / want to urge that a new
system be adopted. If there is Sl5O.0OO
due the city in back taxes why should
the Council be in bankrupt condition?
Why not collect It? If the Council
would direct the receiver of taxes to
advertise and sell the properties of all
those who owe city tax, just as the re-
ceiver of county taxes was directed to
do, It would result in $4,000 coming
in by June l of this year.
II is unjust and unfair that some peo-
pie must pay and others do not. / can
not see any politics In it, for the list
shows both Republicans and Democrats
ON It, It is simply a miserable, un-
business like way which has existed
for years and Will continue just as long
as tax receivers are allowed to listen
TO excuses and take promises.
