Send YOUR STAMP IF
TAX BILL IS TO Be Mailed

William Tinsman. tax collector of
Chrlstiana hundred, said today that
collectors are not expected 10 send
tax bills to any one in their district
unless the request is accompanied by
a stamp.
1T Is true that the Levy Court has
given the collectors $40 each" said
Collector Tinsman. "but we were
given our instructions by the Levy
Court as to how this money should
he spent When I was first appoint
cd I mailed tax statements for 1913,
and when the checks came in I had
10 buy more stamps. The Levy Court
would not allow an additional supply
Of stamps. We post notices Of where
and when we will sit to receive taxes.
We also advertise our collection
hours in the newspaper. and Il is up
to the people TO read the notices. AZ
ter the lapse Of six months one cent
a month is added for every dollar Of
taxes due. After another lapse we
find properties on which no taxes
have been paid Then we proceed
against the owners and everyone
knows that costs are added Just say
for me that no tax statements arc
going out TO Christiana hundred tax
ahles unless stamps are furnished
by the inquirers."
