City Tax Collector Alfred Bonneville |
has hung up another record of collec- |
tons such as is seldom equalled by
men holding this office of so much i'm |
portance to the citizens, and his an
nual report shows that he has collected
every tax levied in the city on the last
list with one single exception, and he
hopes to have this in the very near fu- |
ture having already taken steps to
see that the city gets the last penny OF
the taxes assessed in its interest.
In the case where Mr. Bonneville has
not collected as yet there recently was
a transfer of the real estate involved
| and the dispute is over whether the
! old or the new owner of the property
| shall settle the tax claim of the city.
/ 1t is a dead sure thing that one or the
other will pay the bill, so Collector
! bOlneNllle Will be dDIe 10 turn Ill d
perfect record of collections.
| Mr.. Bonnevile's collections of city
| taxes this year are in excess of s37.-
500 He has made his usual splendid
record and again established the fact
! that he is one of the finest little tax
collectors in New England.
