CITY,S REVENUE INCREASED.
This Is Due to New Assessment, but
Fewer Taxables Make Settlement.

City Tax Collectors John I. Dolan
and Elmer Klund have not completed
the work of totalling the amount of
money their respective Offices have
taken in during the month of July
in city taxes, but ii is roughly es-
timated that the total will be in ex-
cess of $500. 900. They do not ex-
pect to have the exact figures ready
before some time next week.
The sums collected this year are in
excess of those taken In for the same
period last year, but this is due. large
ly to the increase made in the assess
ment. The actual number of people
who have paid their taxes is smaller
than for the corresponding period last
summer. This is thought to be due
largly TO existing conditions. that is,
the lack of employment and the scar
city of cash. those who have any
money preferring TO retain it during
the present slump in business than to
pay it over to the city.
