1t is apparent that the combina-
ton of Mudgett and Security is
working more woe for the taxpayer.
An idea of the enormous amount
Of business done in behalf of the
Security Savings society during the
closing days of George Mudgetts
incumbency in the Office of county
treasurer may be gained from the
statement that somewhere near
5000 delinquent tax certificates
were plastered on property during
the month of last December and
that the society obtained something
like 95 per cent of such certificates.
December began with No. $4,000
and something in the certificate
book and closed with $4,000 and
something.
The clerks under the Mudgett ad-
ministration must haye done some
tall hustling in the way Of drawing
certificates of tax delinquency last
December. There were not 80
working days in the month and if
the number of certificates issued
was about 5000 for the month, over
100 certificates must have been is
sued on the eve of relinquishing
the office, 95 per cent Of which went
to the Security.
