City taxes have been paid pretty
generally. While under the holiday
proclamations from day to day issued
by the governor, no penalty could be
enforced for non-payment within the
time specified by law. the city prop
erty holders have not taken advan-
tage generally of this immunity. 1t
shows that the money famine does
not affect this locality to any serious
extent. State and county taxes are
also being paid freely by the small
taxpayers. The heavy property hold
ers are more backward, and will like
y defer payment until the holiday
eason is declared off, or the law has
cen amended by special legislation,
as to prolong the date of settle
It.
