are many vacant lots in the settled

do for Italy if his people stick to
him.

City And County Tax Collectors
Busy Receiving Tax Monies

The last-day rush in paying city
taxes in November, so as to get the
four per cent discount for that
month, brought in so many ac-
counts, Tax Collector Sam B. Pin
der said today, it probably will, be
the tenth of this month before the
November business has been
checked up fully.
He said further that the report
to be made to the city council at
its meeting tonight will have to
be an estimate. He is confident
that the amount will exceed $50
600, out of a total tax roll of $685.

The amount for the month is
excellent, but, placed on a per-
centage basis, it is not as good as
were the collections for Novem-
Der of last year. During that
month in 194l, the collections to-
tailed $48,261, but the tax roll was
only $l59,339, as compared with
the $2O3,384 for this year.
More persons, however, paid
their taxes this year in November
