Mr.. VIM. C. Hearn has been ap-
pointed by the Commissioners of
Cambridge to collect street and dog
taxes for the year 1912. This covers
the period from April /, 1912, to
April 1, 1913. Many persons labor
under the impression that they have
paid 1912 taxes, because they hap
pened to- pay 1911 taxes during the
year 1912, but "a look at the re
ceipted bills which they have will
show the year for which such taxes
have been paid. -.-.:r -,
