ton of the collection OF taxes in April,
was placed on its first reading by city
council at its meeting yesterday after
noon. following considerable discussion
on the subject.
Vice Mayor E. F. TIGER, in moving
the ordinance, deplored conditions

taxes in 1880, which would b. sufficient
to meet all debts of the city. Council
man Thomas j. Fannon said he was
aghast at the amount necessary TO be
borrowed and urged immediate re-
trenchments.
A list Of delinquent 1880 taxes. which
amounts to about $4,000, was ordered
prepared by Clerk Purvis Taylor for
presentation to council.
