If the bill passes it will mean that the tax payers may settle with the collector at any time between now and No vember IS, for 1920 taxes, without paying penalty.
 A. F. Galloway, the new sheriff and collector appointed Monday to succeed the late Arthur Cotter, this week publishes his list of appoint ments for the collection of taxes.
