SENT OUT ON
TAX PAYMENTS

Statements covering second tax
installment payments under the 10
wear plan were mailed from the as
ssor-Collector's office of the I'M
perial Irrigation district Thursday
to holders of 1000 pieces of prop
erty upon which delinquencies are
being paid.
a total of 2,2O4 receipts were is
sued under the plan prior to the
expiration date July l, 1885. The
1000 statements represent the num-
Der unpaid out of the 2,204. Certain
individuals are paying the taxes on
various blocks of land, Miss Barry
explained. and in this case the
statements were grouped for mail
ing. Four hundred envelopes were
mailed.
In addition to the annual INSTALL
ment payments for the 10year plan,
the current assessments also must
be paid in full every year. Both
the 10-year installment and the cur
rent assessment must be paid by
July according to Miss Barry.
Recent extension of time on the
1O-year plan is believed to have
nothing to do with the persons all
ready included in that type of pay
ment, Miss Barry said. 1t is under
stood, she said, that the extension
has to do with the expiration date.
