ON 100 TAXPAYERS
Aldermen Authorize Tax Col
lector Macdonald to Sue
For 500 Now Overdue
Vigorous Method Adopted Only As
Last Resort Against Delinauents

The city Of Putnam has declared
war on delinquent taxpayers! The
city has 81 500 owed to it by about
100 people. and because they have
repeatedly ignored the bills sent to
them by Tax Collector Archibald Mae
donald. Jr., and to date have not paid
what is owed the city, an effort and a
vigorous one is about to be made to
make collections in every case.
At the meeting Tuesday evening the
city council passed resolution giving
Tax Collector Macdonald full author
ity to bring suit against all delinquent
taxpayers and to prosecute everyone
against whom such action is taken.
Mr.. Macdonald told the council
that he has repeatedly tried to collect
the taxes due the city and each time
has failed. About the only way the
city can collect" he said, rs to bring
suit" The overdue taxes are small
in the great majority of eases and are
levied against personal property in
most instances.
