COLLECTOR CHAIRS SHOWS
A BIG GAIN In REVENUES
During Three Years in Of
flee He Has Brought
About an Increase of
$39, ,287 in Receipts
OF the State

Harry w. Chairs, collector of state
revenue. has forwarded to Governor
Penenwill and the members Of the State
Commission on Revenue and Taxation
his repaEt for the fiscal year ending
March 81. 1910 The report shows an
increase in the States revenues COM
ing under Mr. Chairs supervision of
Sl4.194.42 for the past year compared
with the previous fiscal year.
Since Mr. Chairs was appointed col
lector Of state revenue three years ago
he has brought about a total increase in
the revenues from sources under his
supervision OF S39, ,2S740.
Collector Chairs results have more
than justified the claims Of then Gov
ernor Preston Lea and others who ad-
vocated the creation of the offide. Mr.
Chairs has secured the State from one
end TO the other and has gathered in
revenues from legitimate sources and
subjects that either were not paying
state tax or license that should have
been paid. or were not paying the
amount that should have been paid.
Collector Chairs has been 'on the job
every minute, and he has a disconcert-
ing habit of dropping in upon circuses
and other amusement enterprises, bar
gain sales just opened and the like and
requiring them to pay the license fee
or tax required by the State laws Mr..
Chairs co-operates also with the clerks
of the peace in the three counties, and
they have gotten along harmoniously.
In the first year he was in office, from
April 1, 1907, to April /, 1908, Mr.. Chairs
brought an increase Of S12.720.5S in
revenues; in the second year, from
April 1. 1908. to April 1, 1909, an in
crease of s12.372.45 over the previous
year. and in the last year an increase
approximately, after the liquor license
fees are apportioned, Of s14,19442, al
though on the face the figures show a
decrease for the 19O9-1910 year, which
however, should be really an increase
and is explained by Collector Chairs
in his detailed statement.
The report of revenue receipts Of Col
lector Chairs is as follows:
