INCREASES SHOWN
IN COLLECTIONS
ON ASSESSMENTS

One of the best proofs of the
gradual increase in prosperity in
Imperial Valley during the past five
years, is offered by Charles W.
Barry, assessor and collector of the
Imperial Irrigation district, in the
decrease of the percentage of un-
collected first installments, as
, shown by his books to January /.
1926.
The first installment of district
assessments is delinquent the last
, Monday in December, or January l
for practical purposes. In 1920 the
percentage of uncollected install
ments was 25.75. The percentage
IN the succeeding years is as fol-
lows: 1921, 26.2S per cent; 1922, ~
ncr cent; 1923, 1915 per cent; 1924,
1865 per cent; 1925, 16.39 per cent.
Corresponding with the decrease
in the percentage of uncOllccted in
, stallments, an increase in the total
amount of the first installmcnt is
noted as follows: 1920, S670137,
'""l. $o65.337; 1922. $57O,622 ;
1923, $l.o76, ,7O5; 1924, $1,O59,596
1925, $l.lSS,073.
The percentage of total unpaid
assessments (first and second in
stalments) on January |, 1922, was
1898 per cent. Since then the
percentage has gradually been re,
duced as follows: 1928. 1916 pcI
