 Report of the Tax Collection Tax Collector w. J. Hemmingway has completed his report of property and personal taxes collected. There has been a total of S69,S95.10 received to date There is an outstanding sum of about s13,O0O left. This amount l compares favorably with last years returns and there has not been any great increase. This is not due to depreciation in property value, put moreover the fact that the personal | tax last season was larger on account of the many workers who mad moved here from other cities.
