Big Reduction Made
In Uncollected Taxes

Uncollected real and personal
property taxes for the City of Will
mington have been cut more than
half since 1941, according to fig
ures released yesterday from the
office of City Manager A. C. Mich
OILS. At that time uncollected taxes
on record totaled $555, 25O.50.
On June 80. 1915, they had been
reduced to $207 ,576.65, reduction
of $247, 673.05 over period of four
years.
The largest amount of back tax
es on the City's books in the past
Is years was in 1884. when $685.
1892 was shown in uncollected
taxes.
The current figure of $2O7, SIG. IS
