Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1903-10-08

The sole duty of the county
treasurer is to collect the
taxes. This has been done
by w. A. George, with a prompt
ness and completeness approach
ed by no former treasurer. 1t
has also been done at the least
possible expense consistent with
good and efficient work. The
contention that his administra-
ton is costing the taxpayers
more than that of his predecessor
Is mere bosh. Heretofore the
collection of taxes has been done
by township collection. Under
the present law all taxes are paid
IN direct to the county treasurer.
This necessarily increases the
clerical work, but it saves the
commission formerly paid to
township collectors. If the pres
ent treasurer employs more help
in his office than did his prede-
cessor, it is simply because more
help is needed. His clerks are
busy all the time, and they earn
their salaries. When times are
good and people are running over
one another in the rush to pay
their taxes, it takes more help in
the treasurer's Office than it did
during the calamity period when
taxes were allowed to run behind
from two to ten years. w. A.
George is a thorough business
man and he will get a vote this
fall which will show that his ad-
