If your freight steamship comes within a certain preferred class, you enjoy the lowest marine rates.

ceptions. If the records showed an
indebtedness, my duty required its
collection. Through constant and per-
sistent effort the list of delinquent
items was gradually reduced so that
by April l., 1925, the date of the last
tax sale, 80 per cent of the items had
been satisfactorily settled, leaving
only 8 per cent to be advertised.
Many thousands of dollars have thus
been collected, the debt of the Bor-
ough has been correspondingly re-
duced and the financial situation i'm
proved.
Modern Office, Modern Methods
Upon taking over the Office my first
step was the establishment of an
Office at the Borough Hall with definite
hours Of service for the greater con-
venience of the public. Since l have
been Collector the Office has been
open every business day from 9 a. m.
to p. m. and from p. m. to 10 p. m.
every evening. / engaged a clerk and
at times had two and sometimes three
clerks assisting in the work of re-
constructing the office records. The
entire expense of all clerical assist
ance was paid by me until January /,
1925. Since then a sum has been ap-
propirated for clerk hire in the vari-
GUS departments but has been insult
ficient to cover the expense and the
additional amount necessary for the
proper operations of this department
is still being borne by me. 1 installed
card system whereby it became pos
sible to tell at a glance the incum-
berances against every piece of prop
erty. For the first time arrears"
were indicated on tax bills. Delin-
quent notices were rendered periodic
ally, efficient methods of automatical-
ly registering bills and recording re-
ceipts were installed whereby it is i'm
possible to omit the receipt of an
item. I developed a filing system
which has been so we'll thought Of
that Madison and Palisade Park have
adopted the same system. In the
process of getting the Borough's rec

ated replacing old obsolete maps
which were useless and it is the inten-
tion to have all changes added each
year so that the map will always be
accurate and up to date.
Saved Taxpayers Money
Not alone in efficiently administer
ing the affairs of the Office has my
service been of value to the commu-
nifty, but in actual savings to the tax
payers. At my recommendation the
interest rate on delinquent taxes was
reduced from s per cent to per cent
and for the first time discounts were
allowed for prepayment of taxes. Tax
payers have saved thousands of dol
lars in interest charges by paying de-
linquent items which they did not
know existed. I found four bank ac-
counts which had been lost for as far
back as twenty years. The auditing
of the Boroughs books has been done
at considerably reduced rates because

tions and reduced borrowings at con-

cial condition of the Borough as re-
suit of reduced outstanding taxes and
assessments has permitted borrowing
under more favorable conditions and
at decidedly less expense. AS a spe-
cific example, the appropriation ac-
count through which interest was pro-
vided for 1924 showed an unexpended

CHAPTER XXI


The cold rage in Lees heart was
like an memorable demon driving him.
Mile after mile they covered, urging
their foam-f1ecked horses along the
trail as remorselessly as the resolve in
their own hearts drove them.
1t was when they topped bare ele-
walton among the pines that Leboeuf
touched his companions arm and
pointed.
In the distance Lee saw the motor
boat drawn up on the shore.
And with that, some instinct told
him that Railway could not escape
them that he would never reach Lake
Misquash. Lee burned now with the
same faith that animated Leboeuf.
They drove their horses on. and saw
the motor boat depart, heard the chug
Of it's engine die away in the distance.
1t was about the middle of the after
noon that Leboeuf touched Lees arm
and pointed a second time. Again Lee
saw the motor boat. Again they heard
the rattle of the engine swell up and
die away.
But now, by the same faith, Lee
knew that Joyce's deliverance was
very near, although their horses were
wearied almost to death.
Again they rode on through the
afternoon. The Indian, who had not
spoken a word since their departure.
touched Lees arm third time.
And now Lee saw the motor boat
again, but it was drifting. apparently
aimlessly, in the river, and moving
slowly toward the rapids. Joyce sat
in the middle Of it, and Railway was
at the engine Lee and Leboeuf rode
cruelty, drawing out their horses last
reserve of strength.
What was the man doing? They
saw him rise and hurl something into
the water. He stood up in the boat,
he shook his fist at them, and his
yells of defiance reached their ears
above the roar of the stream.

back to practical aspect by means of

draped hemline, confined at one side
under a tasseled medallion motif, sug-
