over 800 receipts. about 100 of which
were for road tax. Mr.. McGee said
that the day was one of the busiest
that lie had ever spent since he as
sumed office, and it taxed both the
treasurer and his assistant. Mr.. King,
to keep up with the steady stream of
people coming into his Office. AT one
time IL was impossible to get into
the treasurer's Office at all and people
were standing outside in the hallway,
Taiting for chance to pay their
Xcs. This was doubtless. due to the
fact mat Saturday was the last day
ior the per cent penalty, and the Z
