COLLECTION Of
TAXES SHOW
INCREASE
Over One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars Have Been
Collected to Date.

The collection of city taxes this year
show a good increase over former
years, as is shown by the books OF
Tax Collector Whiting. The sum OF
S1O1 900 has been collected since taxes
became due which is the largest sum
collected to this date in any previous
year.
The early payment of taxes is due to
the system of discounts and penalties
imposed by the city. many of the
larger tax payers availing themselves
of the discount allowed in order to Sc
cure a reduction, while others pay un
promptly IN order to prevent the pen
atty imposed upon delinquents from
being enforced against them.
During this month a penalty of 2%t
per cent will be imposed upon those
who settle, and next month it will lie
increased to , per cent upon each dol
lar. There remain to be collected
about s42 1000, and it is expected that
g. large amount of this will be paid
during this month.
