AT LAST GIVES UP
CITY TAX BOOKS
Collector Johnston Makes Settlement
With Treasurer on Collection of
Total of $121,417.35.

Late yesterday afternoon the Rock
Island tax collector, J. B. Johnston,
turned over his books to the county
treasurer, and made a settlement, pay
ing over sum to balance the $121,-
t1735 collected. The collectors com
mission amounted to $1,93S.92, but he
is limited to $500 compensation, the
balance going to the township. The
books show that of the total amount
of delinquent tax, 1924, 141.94, only 81.
67S.57 is personal tax. To offset the
manner in which Mr. Johnston held up
he tax money, he has been lauded
because he had so much of the per
sonal tax collected. On the other
hand, his collections of real estate
taxes are much lower than usual. The
collector is held responsible for the
collection of the personal tax, and
must either collect it or pay for its
collection. But if he does not get the
real estate tax he loses nothing.
Just when the settlement of the
collector was made cannot be deter
mined. Late yesterday The Argus was
informed that il would not be made
until today, by County Treasurer Cox
and Mr.. Cox states that he did not re
ceive the money until after 4 O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon. One of Mr.. John
ston's clerks, however, says it was
paid over at noon.
