BIG REPORT
OF TAXES
January Report Contains So
Closely Written Pages and
Totals $4,000
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Sixty eight pages of closely ruled
six column ledger paper is contained
in tho report of the tax collector for
the month of January which Deputy
Frank Buckingham has turned over
TO the commissioners court and
which that body is now checking up.
This Is not only the biggest report
that the office ever turned out but It
is a model in completeness.
Something of the enormous
amount OF work entailed in getting
up such a report may be guessed
from the fact that every line in those
sixty eight pages contains the en-
try of single tax payer Then the
amount which each tax payer paid
in is divided according to apportion-
ment into the six columns for the va
rious funds. Not every tax payer is
cz>rSibutor TO every fund but the
amount which any tax payer pays in,
no matter how small must be divided
between two or more funds and the
amounts entered in the proper col
umns. These columns must be foot
ed up at the end of every page and
the totals must be footed at the end.
The totals for the various funds from
the January taxes, which form the
bulk OF this years taxes are as fol-
! lows.
