TOO MUCH RAIN

Much Damage to Iowa Crops by Over
flow and Erosion in
Central Part Of
State.

Excessive rains toward the close
of last week and continuing in some
sections till the 9Th, caused much
damage by overflow and erosion, par
ticularly in central tiers of counties,
extending from the Missouri nearly
to the Mississippi; also in some of
the south central counties. In the
Skunk, Iowa and Cedar valleys, many
bridges were washed out, the dam
age running into the. hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The Des Moines
and Raccoon also overf1owed to some
extent. The crop damage in about
fifteen central counties is estimated
at about 5 per cent. Toward the
close of the week, the weather be-
came more favorable. cultivation OF
corn was pushed rapidly on the up
lands, and preparations were made on
the Iowlands for replanting to corn
or seeding to millet and buckwheat.
Hail is reported from many localities,
but the total area damaged is rela-
lively small.

warmth and sunshine. caused all

TAX COMMISSION
WANTS COLLECTORS
PRODDED UP A BIT

Tallahassee, July 24.-The follow
ing letter has been addressed to the
several boards of county commission
ers over the State, by the State tax
commission:
To the Boards of County Commits
sioners of the Several Counties OF
Florida: Gentlemen: Complaints have
have reached this office-quite num-
Der OF them-from the tax assessors
of the different counties of the State,
relative to the failure of the tax col
lectors to collect in full on the prop
erty assessed and placed on the tax
books. In quite number of in
stances the collectors have simply
collected what was convenient on real
estate and personal property and have
made but little effort to collect on
personal property, where the amounts
we're small, and in some instances
where they were rather large.
\ We are writing this to caution you
that it is well to scan very closely
the list of insolvencies turned in by
your collector and @ot to approve
same until you are satisfied that The
collector has exhausted all the re-
sources at his command TO collect the
amount of taxes as shown on the
roll. A very large majority of the
collectors IN the State receive suifi-
cicnt comp9nsa;iol to warrant their
making special efforts to collect the
small amounts against personal as
sessments-and as the law is fixed as
20 the compensation OF he collector,
or deputy collector in collecting from
the delinquent taYplye', you should
scc that the proper effor. is made to
collect all pe"conal taxes
Kindly give this matte" your very
best attention.
Respectfully,
TAX COMMISSION.
