PENALTY FOR TAX ARREARS.
CONTROLLER CIRCUIT PREPARING TO TAKE
ACTION AGAINST DELINQUENTs.

Controller Grout and William McFadden chief
OF the Bureau Of Arrears in the Tax Department.
have begun the preparation Of a list Of property
owners in arrears for taxes. The Controller said
Yesterday that after giving those interested full
opportunity TO pay their bills. he would take
vigorous steps IN August next to sell property for
the arrears of taxes
Many extensive property owners who charged
up with large arrearages have adopted the system
of putting off paying their taxes from year TO year
until the city takes action against them Then their
plan is 10 defend the action IN the courts. and
after the matter has dragged along for year
two, offer the city compromise sum, which usually
Is less than the amount Of the tax bill plus the
interest. The interest arrears is supposed to be
per cent year, but when actions begun In the
courts adjusted the defaultng taxpayer usually
gets off by paying very low rate Controller
Grout has instructed his subordinates that I'm every
case where property owner has defaulted the
payment of taxes and later secured q favorable
settlement the full penalty must be collected
a second default.
