Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va. July For the
first time in more than quarter of a
century Alexandria's tax bills were
not made out and ready for collection
July l. The bills this year. which un-
der ordinary circumstances are ready
for payment July l. will not be in the
hands of Collector T. F. German before
August /. or one month later. The de-
lay has been brought about by the
change in the system of state taxation
which necessarily delayed the NAL king
out of the city tax bills. This was
caused by the passage of the state seq
regation act by the state Legislature.
which was considerably delayed. COL
lector German stated this morning
that since he has been tax collector.
which has been for the past twenty-six
years. the bills have never been de-
layed before.
Hundreds of Alexandrians are not
sorry of the delay. inasmuch as the
usual discount will be allowed for
prompt payment when the bills are
placed N the collectors hands and
this is per cent.
