Its first six months of work which
ended to-day and there is over $780,
200 more in sight. The bureau was
established last fall when it was
found that there were hundreds of
uncollected tax claims, some of them
eight years old and the majority of
them from two to four years on the
books. After the bureau was or
ganized 1t was also discovered by
Auditor General Snyder that there
were numerous companies being car

companies were handled in clearing
