Among others who are giving the
collector particular trouble are tho
Chinese OF the city. It is said that

Mr.. Hancock states that his office
Is invested with the power of gar
nishee, and that persons failing to
reply TO notices of taxes due will be
visited by officers and their effects
levied on or an easement laid on their

proving a source of much worry to
the collector. in that they have their
residence here. but spend about one
month mere year. and many OF

now TO be made, however. In an heroic
