-Four weeks ago Thomas G. Dilks, tax
collector Of Mantua township, proceeded
under the new tax law to collect the
personal property taxes at Pitman, one
hundred and thirty three of whom were
delinquent. The property consisted Of
cottages, erected on ground rent, and the
tax varied from less than one dollar TO
ten dollars Last Saturday was the day set
for the sale of these, but before the hour Of
sale arrived every tax was paid and not a
property was offered for sale large
portion of these delinquents were non
residents and in many instances careless
ness was the cause of non payment. Colec-
tor bikes says that as long as be is in Office
he proposes, without fear or favor, to pro-
coed under the law to collect all taxes as
sessed, as a measure of fairpess to all prop
erty owners, and in accordance with the
law and his official obligation. One of the
ways to lower the tax rate, is to collect all
the taxes assessed, and Mantua township is
to be congratulated on having Collector
who proposes to collect.
