Charles L. Allen.
LARGE TAX COLLECTION
Is Shown by the Report for
Last Six Months.
Some Interesting Figures Relative
to the Operation Of the New
Salary Law.

County auditor Allen has just COM
pletcd his senii-annual settlement
with the county treasurer and state
auditor, showing the amount of
taxes collected during the last six
months and the various funds into
which IL is distributed. An espc-
cially interesting feature of this half.
yearly report IS the showing taat the
city of Marion alone was assessed
$2G,O4S. 20 in special assessment for
sewers, street paving, Sidewalks,
etc. TIC total collection for the
six months as compared with the
same period of last year shows an
Increase OF $37,763.54
The fees of the county treasurer
for this period amounted 10 $2.2G0 II
and the auditor to $i,556. 60. How
ever the greater part Of this Is to he
iurne1' into the treasury. Under the
fec system they would have been
entitled to this sum. but the aud
itOr's term commenced In October.
and he Is only entitled 10 fees from
that time until January ! of this
year, or for q period Cf about two
and onc-half monihs. while the
county treasurer gets the benefit of
about four months under the fee
system.
In this connection. IL may In, In
torcsting to note the amount collect
ed by =. II. Foreman. for his serv-
ices in collecting delinquent taxes.
Previous to the salary law going in
to effect, IL had been the practice
of county troasurers to take the 30
per cent. allowed for the collection
OF all delinquent taxes, but this was
stopped and now a collector is APP
pointed by the. county commissioners
and the county treasurer, The dli-
Ties of collector are not similar to
those of an inquisltor: collector
adds nothing TO the duplicate; he
simply collects taxes which are al
ready delinquent and which the
county treasurer did not collect.
For this service, he is allowed 80
nor cent. of all such taxes collect
ed. The fees for this work for the
last six months amounted to ST.
t95 .SS, or practically salary Of
$4,000 a year, while the salary law
gives the county auditor. county
treasurer and probate judge salaries
oi hut $2,3i5 per year.
This settlement shows that for the
last six months the total amount of
taxes collected for all purposes was
$500. 1877 .27, which includes a dog tax
OF $2.270.SI and total state tax of
$l2 .505.77. The state lax Is divided
into the following funds: Sinking.
$ei5 60; university. $22Gi.1S. and
state common school. 1926. 30.
The total amount of this collection
which goes to the county Is $275.-
9G0 &c and Is divided into the fol-
lowing funds: County or general
fund. $lS,577 80; poor. $l2.6l3. 10;
