Tax Collections
Running Behind
At City Office
Tax collections at the City of
Kermit are running behind the
same time a year ago, Paul Ger-
bert, city finance officer, an-
nounced.
Only about $55,000 has been
collected so far this year, while
at the same time during the last
two years well over $65,000 had
been received. The total city tax
roll this year amounted to $167,-
414.96.
Gerbert said one reason for
the slowness in receiving tax
money is that in past years fi-
nance companies holding house
mortgages in Kermit have sent
in their payments earlier. He
said very few of these firms have
submitted their taxes yet.
City taxes become delinquent
Feb. 1.
