-----
Tax Collections Are Very Good.
-----
Tax Collector Davis, who has been out on a two weeks collection tour; reports
collections very good, something like $5000 having been paid to him.
He has been on the west side and has
visited Mooreville, Eddy, Blevins, Bellfalls, Cego, Durango, Westphalia,
Barclay, Crenshaw and Lott.
He is on the east side this week, his
appointments being at Perry, today: Otto, Tuesday; Stranger, Wednesday; Reagan,
Thursday; Denny, Friday; Bremond, Saturday.
Next week he will cross over to the west
side again, beginning at Gurley Monday and thence to Chilton on Tuesday, Travis
on Wednesday, and winding up at Rosebud on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct.
24, 25 and 26.
These visits are made in pursuance of law,
in order that the tax payers may have an opportunity to pay their taxes without
the necessity of a trip to the county site. However, the majority do not
avail themselves of the opportunity, as they have until Jan. 31 in which to
liquidate.
