TAX COLLECTORS
WEIGH 200 POUNDS;
MANY PERSONS PAY

To escape the embarrassment OF
having trouble with the state delin-
quent tax collectors who will start
work in Wayne county next week and
to save the added expense of collec-
ton, scores of persons are paying up
back taxes at the county treasurer's
Office
Several persons owe taxes for six
years back which they will be forced
to pay. On first visits, the delinquent
tax collectors will levy on property
where people refuse to pay.
Absolutely no sob" stories will be
accepted The men are under con-
tract to collect every cent available.
Each of the six field men weighs more
than two hundred pounds.
Delinquent taxes on the books at
the county treasurer's Office amount
to more than $4,000. 1t has been es-
timated that it costs at least $3.50
to carry these accounts along from
year to year. There are 1000 delin-
quent accounts. 1t costs approximate
ly fifty cents to assess each of these
annually and twenty-five cents to get
each one properly recorded on the
books in the treasurers and auditors
office.
