HEAVY INCREASES IN
CITY TAX COLLECTION
Northern and Southern Dis
tricts Ahead of Same Period
Last Year.

City taxes collected in the Northern
District for the period including the
first fifteen collection days OF the month
OF Ju'y total s2ss s.363.S7, as compared
with secs 1855 for the corresponding
period last year. the increase this year
amounting to sis.s27.6s.
In the Southern District the total
collections to date are sss,1tI49 as
compared with sS2.732.45 for the cor
responding period last year, an in
crease of s1o,40e.o4.
These increases are shown in both
districts OF the city despite the fact
that conditions generally are much
worse than they were this time la
year and also that many men are out
OF employment and the residents gen
orally are not supposed to have as
much money as they did during the
same period last summer. The amount
received to date ~has been paid in
largely by the individual property
owners for the large industrial con-
Germs and the large property owners
never make their payments until to-
ward the end OF July.
IL is pointed ont that the increase in
both sections of the city has been
brought about. not so much by the
promptness of the property holders
making their payments in large mum
bers. but more by the increase OF Is
cents per 500 of assessment made in
this years taxes Had 1t not been for
this increase in the assessment it is
believed the general receipts TO date
would have fallen below that OF last
year.
