treasurer kept BUSY.
Sat unlay w as one of the hardest
days at the county treasurer's office
which has ever been experienced by
the present incumbent. Taxpayers
were packed In the little olllce all
day long so thickly that it was hard
for one to get out on^pc he had paid
Ins taxes and was ready to go. This
was because this was the last day in
WhlOh to pay taxes and there were a
great many who up to Saturday had
not paid.
Something over $5,000 was taken In
by the treasurer and his assistant,
mostly from small taxpayers. The
mails which Came in Saturday were
not axamined for lack of time and
this will probably augment the sum
received to a considerably larger
amount.
Probably a larger proportion of
the taxes due the past year were paid
than In any year in the past, although
the exact proportion has not yet been
reckoned. Tax executions of taxes
unpaid will he made out by the treas?
urer and turned over to the sheriff
for collection.
