TAXPAYERS NOT ANXIOUS TO SAVE
 ATTORNEYS FEE
Collector Hut Says Only Few Delinquents Have
 Profited by Offer.

Just little handful of people have called at my office to pay their de- linquent cemetery district taxes" said City Tax Collector William V. Hutt last night.
 Mr. Hut stated that he had confi- dently anticipated that he would be rushed and overworked by the delin- quent taxpayers, when the rolls were turned over to him, especially because there had been SO. much talk of the matter and a big mass meeting.
 'I have had the books several days he said. "and am ready. to collect the taxes that are delinquent, but there have been only very few to make the payment. -
 "It appears to me that after all the excitement. and especially after the attorneys haves waived their fee, the taxpayers would come in and settle, when they caneaNoid all costs except the legal 20a per cent. penalty. But they do not appear anxious to take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded them, to save the $2.50 at torney's fee, 60 cents sheriff's service fee, and other fees that will accrue when the suits are brought against delinquents on April l.

 t"PrCmoters of Mexican mining prop ettles have purpcsely concealed from investors the limited nature of the interest held by them in mines that are exploited It is barely possible that the promoters themselves have been ignorant of the limited owner ship acquired through such safes.
 Attention is directed strongly to these features of the Mexican mining laws through decrees recently put in to force by General Carranza. through which the unit tax upon mining cla,Hrs has been increased"
