the approximate number Of ~deIinquents,
but it is believed they run into the
thousands. All of them face a penalty
of 5 per cent interest for failure to pay

per cent a ~ nth will be added.
Inability to pay the tax seemed to be
widespread. 1t affected the men of
small means and many persons who a
few months ago could have paid far
greater amounts without feeling it. But
the general business depression, which
has swept over the country with in.
creasing force during the latter half of
the year, has wrought havoc without
regard to persons and has played no
faVOriteS.
Collector Edwards SAID that more peo-
pie had found it difficult to pay their
taxes than ever before. With some it
was impossible. They frankly told the
collector so and said they would have
70 stand for the imposition of penalties.
Those who thus took the collector into
their confidence included brokers. bust
Dess men, corner groceries and manufac-
turers.
Regret Not Paving Before
Many expressed regret that they had
not paid in full at the time the first
quarterly instalment became due last
March. Money was plentiful then and
they could have done so, they said, but
held off IL the hope of getting a little
more interest from their money before
turning it over 10 the Government.
Now, unable TO get credit because Of
the fall in value Of their assets and
with money owed them On contr is

they could nor pay.

II was indeed a strange feeling OF

With no apparent effort, seemingly ut
