1t is announced that vigorous meas
ures are to be taken to force the pay
ment of the delinquent personal proper
ty taxes and that the services of the
entire police force are to be invoked
if necessary to aid in the collection of
these outstanding taxes. The measures
that the city may take to force the pay
ment of these delinquent taxes are clear
ly defined by law and it is declared
by the officials of the city that every
right given them under the law will be
used to force the payment Of these out
standing taxes even to the extent of
having the property of the delinquents
if any can be found sliced, by the po-
lice and sold at public auction for the
amounts due and costs before they will
consent to have these outstanding per-
sonal taxes written off the books Of the
city treasurer. Some of this delinquent
personal property tax has been carried
on the books of the treasurer since the
levy of 1908 and it is high time that it
was disposed of in some way. 1t is GER
tain that three years back will never be
paid now unless payment is forced. 1t
is noticeable that the amounts of de
linquent personal property taxes out
standing and uncollectable by ordin-
AIRY measures are increasing year by
year at higher ratio than they should
and it may be that this is due to the
failure of the city TO take vigorous
measures to force this class of delin-
quents to pay UP.
1t is certain that the amount of de.
hnquent personal taxes may be expected
to increase by leaps and bounds if the
belief becomes general that the city is
either unable or too lax to force the
collection Of this tax and we do not
know that any man who has been as
sessed personal property taxes can be
blamed very much for declining to pay
his assessment when he knows that his
neighbor has been permitted to sue
cessfnlly defy any feeble efforts made
to make him pay UP his delinquent tax
es This is thing that is very apt to
spread and the best insurance, the city
can have against future trouble in this
line is to collect these outstanding
taxes Or know why they are not paid.
a bad precedent has been established
by letting the 1908 amounts lay over so
long as they have
