Tax edlections in the County are
better this year than in 1930, ac-
cording to a statement from Mrs.
■Z Mae Pierce, Tax Collector. The to-
tal collections prior to Saturday
F* were $30,506, ana were paid to
amounts from 11 cents to $1500.
Some people are taking advantage
of the split-tax payment plan,
however, Mr, Pierce says most peo-
ple are paying the full year's tax
rather than just half. The split-
tax must be paid during the pres-
ent month, by November 30, and
the balance before June 30th, of
the coming year. No interest or
penalty is added under the split-
tax plan if paid on time—before
November 30 for the nu payment
and before June 30 for the second.
"There's more interest being shown
to poll taxes this year than usual"
Mrs. Pierce said.
