The City Taxes

Mr. Pond, of the Courier, city tax collector, makes the following statement of tax collections. "The city treasurer collected $37,428.51 from July 15 to August 15, leaving $8,469.70 to be carried over to December, to which will be added five per cent, making a net profit of about $400 for the city. Last year there was carried over $9,514.36. The amount unpaid this year is $1,000 less, which, when it is remembered that there was $45,898.21 to collect this summer, and only #39353-98 last summer, it will be seen that the taxes have been paid much better this year than last.
