The annual report of City Collec tor A. C. Russell will be filed at the regular monthly meeting of the City Council Monday night.

This does not include $47,- 9S1.32 collected from paving districts during the past year, compared with S57.49227 the previous twelve months.
 Collector Russell states that a loss of S1,070 was sustained by the revenue becaue of the general de- crease in collections, but this amount was recovered in the collection of various licenses from other sources. An increase of $1,0S0 was shown in the collection of vehicle taxes. The decrease of more than $10,000 in inn provement districts was due to the fact that many of them have paid out.
