WANTS ALPHABETICAL TAX LIST

Elwood H. Brown. deputy county
treasurer and receiver Of taxes. ap-
peared before the Levy Court yester-
day afternoon and asked for leave to
copy the city assessment that the
names may appear alphabetically on
the tax books. The assessors do not
arrange the names alphabetically and
there are many property owners who
have property in several wards. The
idea is to get these together so that
when a man pays his taxes all his
properties may be found conveniently
Clerk of the Peace Brown said that
he would want the copies made in the
Clerk of the Peace office. Deputy
Collector of Taxes Brown said he was
willing to do the work free of charge
TO facilitate the work OF the office. The
Levy Court left the matter for settle
ment between the two officials.
