COL
LECT TAX
INTEREST

A letter has been received at the Of
NJ A Leddy. auditor of public ac-
counts, requiring the collection of in
terest without exception on delinquent
tax payments as provided by law. The
matter of rebating the interest in such
cases has occasionally been made by
the county commissioners. which, Mr..
Leddy contends, is unwarranted. ex-
cept as it applies to the assessment
for county purposes. Mr.. Leddy's let
ter in part is as follows:
In a number of counties in this
state. it has been customary TO over
look interest on delinquent taxes when
not long overdue. and. in many cases.
when the tax for the first installment
was delinquent and taxes for the sec
ond installment paid previous to the
stated time. August first, the treas
urers have figured that one offsets the
other and no interest has been charg-
ed As this does not comply with the
law please see to It in the future that
interest is collected on delinquent tax
payments on the first half regardless
of when the second installment was
paid. Considerable trouble has arisen
on this account. and. in the future, I
shall hold the treasurer responsible
for the collection OF taxes on all delfn-
quent tax payments without excep-
ton" =
Section 553S of the revised statutes
OF Colorado. states: I'm case the first
installment OF one half of any tax is
not paid prior to March first of any
year then there shall be assessed
against such installment a penalty of
one per cent for each month. or frac-
tional part thereof. from March first
pntil paid. provided it is paid prior TO
August first as required by law" Sec
ton $3.50 states: ~On the first day or
August in each year the unpaid taxes
af the previous year become delin-
quent and shall thereafter draw inter-
est at the rate OF fifteen per cent per
annum. but the treasurer shall con-
tinue to receive payments OF the same
with interest until the day of the sale
for taxes, provided that nothing in
this section shall be construed to
prevent the collection OF the penalty

GIVING AWAY COTTON
BOLLS To CUSTOMERS

Messrs. Frey & Collins. who are in
the midst of their annual January
white Goods Sale" are giving away
to their customers the cotton ''boils,
with which the windows of their store
have been decorated for the last week
or ten days, as souvenirs of the event.
Some time previous to the beginning
of the sale they had shipped to them
from Georgia a large number OF cot
ton plants from the plantations or
that state, containing more than five
hundred pods, or ''bolis," as they are
called. which were used for decora-
tive purposes at their place OF bust
ness. The latter are being presenter
as keepsakes to their patrons, many
OF whom had never seen them grow
ing in the fields Of Dixie" No plant
is SO intimately associated with the
history. romance and song OF the
south as cotton. and the "bolls' are
eagerly sought in this portion OF the
country by people unfamiliar with
their appearance when ready for the
picker. On Saturday more than two
hundred and fifty Of these unique SOU
venirs were given away by Messrs-
Frey & Collins. and. 1t is apparent
that the supply of 'boils" will not be
suficient to meet the demands OF their
friends. Their White Goods Sale is
scheduled to close Wednesday evening
OF this week.

Final Outing Of wholesalers Proves
BIq Success.


The series OF one-day trolley trips
arranged by the trade promotion COM
mittee Of the Wholesalers and Manu-

Thursday night with q dinner at Lake

Mt. Clemens. Reports were read OF the
work done on the trips which have In
cluded 40 towns In the vicinity of
Detroit. One important result was
the agitation for an ordinance to keep
city passengers OF suburban cars
which was proposed by the association
and is now before the council.
The entertainment features were
provided chiefly by the Rowdy club.
led by A. Liberatti Smith. They form
ed the Kazo band and their gorgeous
uniforms attracted as much attention
as their tuneful strains.
| The first stop kof the party, Thurs
day. was Anchorville, where the busi-
ness men welcomed them warmly. In
Algonac the Detroiters were taken out
in some Of the crack motor boats that
are kept there. The business men OF
Marine City gave a fine luncheon at
noon and Mayor r. B. Baird gave an
address OF welcome. In New Baltimore
the merchants formed a reception
committee. Mt. Clemens was the last
stop OF the day. The visitors were
taken In charge by the Business Mems
association and spent pleasant and
profitable afternoon.
The success of the series of trips
just closed reflects great credit on A.

motion committee, which was In
