COMPLETES FIGURES
ON HALF 1871 Taxes
A FRACTION OF OVER 30 PER
CENT FOR LAST YEAR HAVE
BEEN PAID 10 DATE.

The county treasurer's force yes
terday completed the tabulat!on Of
the first half of the taxes for 1911
collected up to January /, when the
tax penalty Of 1 IL per cent per
month went into effect on all taxes
the first half of which had not been
paid. The figures show that from
November to January !, 1912, the
county treasurer collected little
over $325,000, the exact figures not
yet being available.
The total taxes for the year Of 191
as assessed Will amount to approx
mately $7S5,000, so it can be seen
that nearly one-half of the 1911 tax
es have now been paid A fraction
over 80 per cent OF the first half Of
the taxes have been paid to the coun-
ty treasurer.
The last half of the taxes becomes
due and payable before June -.
when all taxes unpaid will become
subject to the penalty.

gratified with the successful manner
in which the taxpayers paid up this
