To COLLECT TAX
At So. A|MbOY
Council to Receive Delinquent
Tax List at an Adjourned
Meeting to be Held Tonight
tBy Evening News corre,poneent.I

SOUTH AMBOY, March 29.-An
adjourned meeting of the City Coun-
Gil will be held tonight at O'Clock.
The purpose of this adjourned meet
Ing is to receive the list of delinquent
tax payers in order that they might
be published in accordance with the
laws of New Jersey. which provides
that the delinquent tax list shall be
in the hands of the city council on
or before April /.
1t has oeen several years since the
city council has had delinquent tax
list. For this reason there has been
no properties advertised for sale and
hence a gross neglect on the part of
a large number of property owners
in payment of money due the city.
When the present chairman of the
finance committee took his office in
January, there were several thou
sand dollars in outstanding water
rents and unpaid taxes-some of
them from 1918 and 1914. At the
present time, due to strenuous CAM
paign on the part of the council and
city collector a large number of
these delinquents have paid their
taxes and water rents and as con-
sequence the city is in a healthier
financial condition.
When the lists are published ii will
not only include the delinquents for
1920, but as far back as 1914.
