The county court Tuesday made
settlement with Collector Burnham.
The showing made by Mr.. Burnham
Is a most excellent II and his record
is probably uneoualed in the history
of the county. The total collections
the past year were S5S7i1 53--by far
the greatest collection ever made in
the county, and about $500 in excess
of last years collections, which, up to
| that time, we're unprecedented. The
delinquent land list this year ID about
! $3.50 and the personal delinquent lisl
$3.50 - unquestionably the smallest
delinquent lists ever returned in Iron
county. The back tax collections the
past three years were S13, 620.2o. The
| fact Ii Mr.. Burnham has proved a
most efficient aud energetic official,
and we very much doubt 1t there il
another collector in the State with a
record as good.
