 The city receives its payment of taxes from the county tax collector, and the payment Is made In one month for the preceding month. The payment of city taxes, therefore. does not necessarily indicate, according to oity officials, that the people are negligent of=the present financial situation in which the munich pal government finds Itself
 Various reasons have been advanced for the falling off In the collection of taxes fin this county. 1t was suggested yesterday that when the payment of taxes in the December of the concluding year of a state administration Is un- usNally large, the succeeding admin istration, suffers. If the payment is un- usually large in January, the succeeding administration bentits.
 While this idea was advanced yester- day, no one was willing to be quoted as having advanced 1t, or as endeavorinx to uphold it as a reason for the present shortage in collections.

therefore unsuitable for further injec-

other five patients were not reinject-

expect or because they had become
worse and had lost confidence in

dition, five of them are now unchang-
