WAIT UNTIL ELEVENTH
HOUR TO PAY TAXES
Only $500 of $4,000 Due Four Months
Ago Has Been Paid to the
Treasurer.

Clty Treasurer Curtis thinks tho
icsisiators who framed the law re.
gardlnS the payment of taxes. and tho
time in which it should be done had
n Keen insight into human nature
when they fixed OH six months ne Tho
period in which this somewhat I'm.
popuiar duty should be performed.
even six months does not prove too
long time for taxpayers to unload
some OF their wealth into the recep.
i've pockets OF the State treasury.
Judging from the fact that this year,
AFTER about four months of the time
SPECIFIED has passed, only about $500
mas been collected up to date. out of
total of about $4,000.
The average citizen prefers to wait
until almost the last minute before
Surrcndering to the laws require.
mcnts. and during the last two weeks
OF the next month. over $1,000 in
taxes will be collected and about
twenty-five thousand bills receipted
which will give the city treasurer ana
his office force very busy time dur
ing that period. About twenty thou
sand of the bills have already been
made out and the balance will shortly
be finished and everything will he in
readiness to receive from the willing
and also unwilling that proportion OF
their worldly goods the law requires.
Even though six months is allowed
for the collection of these taxes, some
citizens Will put off until after the
last day of November, and consequent
ly have to pay an extra five per cent.
