"The quarantine is still in

to be in force for some time.
Considerable pressure is being

There was a time when the annual
rounds of the county treasurer
fbr the collection of count'
taxes were very necessary ami
proper, but that time has abou
past. "There has never been a
fall since I have- been in office
when there was more money in
the county than there is this
fall," said Treasurer Neil a few
aays ago, "ana l nave actually
taken in less money this fall
than during any previous round
of the county." Asked as to the
reason, the treasurer explained
that the principal reason, was
that most of the taxes are now
b^ing paid through the banks.
The people go to the banks and
pay taxes when they get ready,
and knowing as they do that
they can pay their taxes at the
banks at any time almost up to
the last day, they pay but little
attention to my coming into their
respective neighborhoods."
