D. C. Tax Collector Sees
S35. 900, 900 Income Here

Watch us grow" says Chatham
Towers, collector Of taxes of the
District of Columbia. For the first
six months of the fiscal year begin
ming July /, 1927, we collected more
than SIG 100000 and expect an even
larger collection during the last
half Of the year."
During the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 1926, our total collections
barely touched $40 900 900. This year
we will exceed that figure several
million. and may reach $35, 900 900, =
prophesies Mr.. Towers.
The increase is due largely to the
increase in assessments on property
and on the increase in the number
of pieces of improved property being
added to the list.
