AS has been the case for many
years, large percentage of our tax
PAYERS wait until the time set for
issuing permits to children to enter
the public schools to procure receipts
showing that they have paid their
capitation tax of fifty cents. As is
known. the clerk Of the City School
Board is forbidden to issue such
permits until it is shown that the
fathers of children have paid their
tithes.
Generally this is postponed until
the first week in September. This
imposes an unnecessary amount of
work upon the tax collector for a
few days, as large numbers Of
children besiege his ffice at this
time for the purpose of paying their
fathers taxes.
1t is suggested that all citizens
who purpose sending their children
to the public, schools, and who have
not paid the fifty cents capitation
tax due by them, settle the same
this week, in order to minimize, as
far as possible, the jam and rush
incident to the days permits are is
