Collections of the city taxes are
progressing at good rate, and the
amount collected is somewhat in ex-
cess of that which has usually been
taken in at this time of year. City
taxes are not delinquent until Oct. l.,
and as is usually the case, a large
number of taxpayers are putting off
their payment until the last possible
minute. Between $4,000 and $4,000
have been taken into the Golfers of
the city already, and this amount is
being increased every day.

good many of the larger owners Of

expected by the city recorder, Judge
E. E. Erwin, that the collections will
flow into the city treasury at a ffiueh
faster rate from this time until the
first day of october, at which time
practically all accounts will be set
tied.
1t Is seldom that many taxpayers in
Columbia are delinquent as regards
the payment of their amounts. and 1t
is not thorght that the present year
will prove to be an exception to the
rule. ilt,l ~ a.
There are few kicks being register

The people of the city seem to be per

most cases are cheerfdlly settling on
the increased basis. The Fate this
year is SITS as against $3.50 formerly.
Judge Erwin stated this morning that

bled at the new rates.
