ALL TAXES on ONE
BILL. IN NEW JERSEY

Persons who have studied the mat
ter are comparing the Virginia system
with that in vogue in New Jersey.
There all the taxes are put on one
ticket. one man collects for both city
and state. The officers sends out bills
IN ample time for each taxpayer TO
know the fun amount he owes. He
can then send Il check or pay 10 tho
receiver OF taxes, ana one ticket liz :,
clear settlement. There is no possible
confusion. no doubling OF taxes. no
back taxes, and at "a glance when
man wants to sell property TIE pur-
chaser can see what is due, and make
a complete and clear record in short
order. In Virginia this consumes much
tim" and may extend back over Il
Period Of y"ars-back to the adoption
OF the new constitution. In fact. there
are men who have continuously paid
every tax BIN they could find for tn.
last three or four years, and who DO
not know that they are now listed as
delinquent for poll tax assessed
against them five or six years ago and
OF which they HAY" had no notice.
There Will be an effort TO correct
thi, crude, ubsolct. system al the next
session OF III. General Assembly. The
cities and counties can save money by
having one receiver Of taxes and by
giving the taxpayers chance I" have
their tax tickets presented 10 them in
stead OF being required 10 devote two

over IN" system Of paying taxes. and
