From the Palmyra Courier.
 At the time the old sprinkling system was first talked of good many taxpayers were opposed to it. but 1t is safe predic- ton that 1t would be hard to find man now who would not vote for 1t again. Every street in the village has been per- fectly free from dust all summer and the cost of oiling the entire village was not much more than the few people used to pay for having few of the principal streets sprinkled every day with water

TAX PAYERS RUSH TO
AVOID ADDED PENALTY
ded to Second Half Of Taxes, IL
Not Paid by Sept. 30-Many Prop
erty Ownsrs Get in Before Time
Limit Expires.

What is said to be the largest sim
gle days receipts, taken in by the
county treasurer's office in years, was
received Saturday in the huge sum of
S1s,3S4.12. County Treasurer Robert
w Stevens said this morning that
during the years of his association in
the office as treasurer and deputy this
sum had never been equaled in any
one day.
Both the treasurer and his deputy,
Seth NJ. Cause. were kept busy from
early in the morning until the office
closed in the afternoon receiving mon
ey from tax payers.
Was Last Day Of Grace.
The reason for this unusually large
amount of receipts was due to the fact
that it was the last day of grace when
an additional penalty, which was added
to taxes Monday. could be avoided.
Those who paid the first half OF their
taxes in the spring had until Oct.
to pay the second half without having
to pay interest If any neglected to do
50 interest at I per cent per month
was added to the taxes for each r. onth
or fraction of a month after Sept. 80.
Those who had not paid any Of their
taxes until Saturday paid penalty OF
I per cent on the amount of the taxes
on Saturday but by paying then they
avoided having to pay an additional l
per cent on the second half beginning
with Oct. l. 1t was the desire to avoid
this additional penalty that precipi-
tated the rush of tax payers Saturday.
