The tax pay ers of Ellsworth who
have neglected to pay their taxes are
again making it very embarrassing
for the city government.
The total amount of these taxes is
stai tnne being no less than S35, 104. :
S., according TO the books of the city
treasurer.
OF this amount 81, 769 OF are for 1899
taxes, s14 SS7 q are for 1900 and sol,
and SIS, AS 81 are for 1902.
This is a state of affairs that is
wholly observation-disclosures to the tax
collectors, but to the delinquent tax
payers The collectors have ample
machinery and authority to enforce
payment, but the reason for non
enforcement, even on the part of the
ieast suave of the collectors, is pretty
generally understood.
But the situation is getting pretty
close to the point of desperation, and
the city government at its recent
meeting has very strongly intimated
that its motto is soon to be-We mean
TO collect the taxes; peaceably if We
can; forcibly if we must.
