all sources; also a statement of the tns

than a yoar ago. Our bills receivable
at this time nmount to #12,474.50
against $18,277.28 last yenr, with bills

year, while at tills time we nre entirely
out of debt, except, the regulnr Decem
ber bills and salaries, and have already
paid tOOn of these notaries for Decetu
her.
1 have collected corporal inn hues in
full, after deducting the amount of the
franchise tax from the Southern Hell
Co., Western Union Telegraph Co. and
the American Kxpress Co.
Fifteen fewer licenses than last year
have liccn collected, but the sum collected
amounts to mnro than Inst yenr.
The decrease In the number of licenses
is duo mainly to the fact that there
were nlno fewer auto hack licenses is
sued in 11120 than in the previous year,
1 desire to call your attention to the
fact that, in 1021 wo will get a subslau
tint increase in tax returns from the
three city hanks, all practically doub
ling their 1820 returns. While we may
expect some reductions in stocks of
goods, 1 think the above increases will
more than offset whatever these reduc
tions might make. ,
