In many OF the larger cities Of the
country where drastic steps are being
taken In an effort to relieve the situa-
tion. especially in Chicago, II is
charged that thousands Of eggs have

TAX RECEIPTS HERE
LESS THAN YEAR AGO

Collector Ernest Rust announces
that the Rock Island tax office in the
Peoples National bank building would
be kept open Saturday nights, starting
tonight, for the convenience of those
unable to call during the week.
Comparative figures show that the
collections are $1,000 behind 1915, for
the corresponding period. Approx
mately $9,9S1.54 was received at the
Office this week, the biggest day being
Thursday, when $3,97S.5S was taken
IN. For the same week last year, $13,-
414.3O was collected. The office was
opened Jan. p this year and since that
time total of $24.S977S has been col
lected, as against 31,97S.45 for the cor
responding period in 1915. In spite of
this deficit Collector Russ is pleased
with the showing thus far, because
more personal taxes have been paid
this year in that time, and 100 more
receipts have been made out than in
1915. indicating that more people are
coming in early, but the majority have
been the smaller taxpayers
