1917 Poll Tax Receipts
 Outstep 1916 by $11,511

Figures just compiled in the office of the tax collector show that $29, $50 was collected for poll taxes during 1917, being an increase of $11,511 over 1916, which shows a collection of only $17,7SS.5o.
 While last years poll tax collection IS gain over all previous years, it is in- teresting to note that it only exceeded the year of 1909 by S16S, the revenue from this source that year being S27, ,131 50.
 No special significance is attached to the large increase 1917 shows over 1916, the belief being expressed that some who allowed their interest in politics to lag after 1909, would again become active during the coming campaigns.
