BESSEMER NEWS

Bessemer, January Especial. )-Dep-
uty Tax Collector #. e. Primer and his
assistants in the Bessemer office had the
greatest rush in the history Of the office
the last few days of the year 1919,
and all records were broken for tax re-
ceipts in the office, when $169,0O0 was col
lected the last day of the year.
The figures were compiled and the
money deposited today, and Mr.. Primer
and his office force are enjoying a more
quiet period. Tax collections at the state
and county office have been unusually
good, there being 40 more receipts hax-
ing been issued from the office this
year than were last year by the same
date, January 2, according to Mr.. Primer
The fact that the registrars were in the
city the last three days of the year, and
that many were paying poll tax for that
reason, caused the work at the tax coll
lector's office to be greatly increased
