NO INSOLVENCY
AFFIDAVITS FILED
COUNTY GETS HIGHEST PER
cENTAGE IN HISTORY
IN COLLECTIONS

Tax Collector Joe c. McMa-
hons refusal to accept insolvency
affidavits this year has given
the county its highest percentage
of intangible and personal tax
collection in history.
With one business operator
still owing the county about $40
in personal taxes, McMahon's Of
flee has collected S1,01L53 in in
tangibles, and $16,703.94 on the
personal list, giving him a rec
ord of 100 per cent collection for
the former item and nearly that
for the latter.
Mcmahon, who started the col
lections with the announced in
tention of making his list 100
per cent, turned down insolvency
affidavits and in only two cases
was forced to issue warrants
One of the business men paid
and the other has until Oct. Is
to make good before material
amounting to the value of the
tax is seized and sold.
This is the first time in IS
years when no insolvency affi-
davits were filed.
