RAILROAD PAYS TWO
FIFTHS OF TAXES OF
COCONINO COUNTY

Mrs. Ana Frohmiller, county treas
urer, is once in while presented with
a real good-sized check by taxpayer.
For instance, a few days ago, one for
something over 100000 was paid in
by the Santa Fe railroad as the last
installment of the 1922 taxes.
1t is not generally realized that the
railroad company pays more than two
fifths of the taxes paid in this county.
The total of the taxes assessed in this
county for 1922 was $499,000. Of this
amount the railroad company paid
$202, ,000.
There are numerous other big tax
payers. The lumber companies pay
an aggregate Of about $4,000, Bah
bitt Brothers Trading Co. pay a mere
$4,000. The Sanford Live Stock Co.
pays about $4,000. Other big live
stock companies pay good-sized taxes.
Something of coincidence lies in
the fact that three corporations -
Mountain States Telephone & Tele-
graph Co., Western Union Telegraph
Co. and Postal Telegraph Co. pay
$1700 each.
Mrs. Frohnliller reports that the
1922 taxes have been paid pretty fully.
It looks like there would be very little
to charge to delinquency for the year.
And good many in paying the taxes
for last year have cleared up delin-
quencies for preceding years.
Mrs. Frohmiller and County Attor-
ney Frank Harrison are working up
the data for numerous tax suits soon
to be brought There will be no more
delay in filing these suits than pos
sible, and both officials viii proceed
impartially, without fear or favor.
Some of the delinquents have asked
that suit be deferred, but have been
told that no exceptions can be made.
All will be treated exactly alike. It
will be only few days before many
of the suits are filed.
