culations for 1908 revenues. and the
Marshal had OIL July /, more than
enough OF solvent executions to cover
this amount. The collections on this
item were in excess of $4,000, and
the Office force in the city hall in
compliance with directions of the fl
nance committee, WIS as lenient as
possible in collecting these back taxes
without working hardships during the
dull times.

OF the discount period the total tax
collections on account of the 1905 di-
gest, we're more than $1,000 ahead
of the 1907 tax collections through the
month of July. The records also show
that the revenues from other sources
