TAXPA YERS STRUGGLE
70 PUSH 7HEIR MONEY
AT THE CITY COLLECTOR
The Inststaiice of tax payers In put
ting off until penalty time payments,
which should have been made when
taxes first came due, and the cramped
•pace at the city hall, have combined
to complicate matters for the past sev
eral days.
Wednesday was supposed to have
been the last day on which discounts
would be allowed on water bills, as
well as the last day before penalties
will accrue where tuxes are not paid.
Theodore there was a rush for the tax
collector's windows for the two day
previous and this could not be avoided
even by coming early.
It was a matter of physical Impossi
bility for Collector E. T. Payne to ac
cept all the money persons wanted to
pay hltn In the three days which have
passed this week, .and “so the water
works department hung out a sign like
the notice and tried to force the city
to take their money.
If the city hall had been more com
modious tt would have saved the clerks
of the waterworks -department many a
mental exclamation of disgust during
the past three days.
