URGES EFFICIENT TAX COLLECTION Rinehart Repeats Pledge for Sending Out Statements. Using tht present crush at the office of the county treasurer, where citizens are endeavoring to pay their fall installment of as an example of poor business methods in a county the size of Marion, where thousands of tax payers are forced to wait in line to get their statements, Mark V. Rinehart, Democratic candidate for county treasurer, stressed the need for a more effilcient system, in a speech Tuesday night to voters at 242 N. Arsenal Ave. He repeated his pledge that if he is elected treasurer, he will inaugurate a system of mailing statements to tax payers in advance of the final tax paying date. “In a county with as many tax payers as Marion,” Rinehart said, “it is poor business to require tax payers to call at the treasurer’s-of-fice to obtain statements, as is done under the present system. The method now in use puts the burden upon the tax payer to pay on the due date or be automatically delinquent and subject to heavy fees. A large part of these fees enures to the personal benefit of the treasurer. "Nearly all large cities and heavily population counties over the country have adopted a businesslike method of handling tax statements, and statements a te mailed to tax payers before tax paying time, as is done in all well managed business institutions.” NEW FAIR" BUILDINGS Board to Ask $400,000 Appropriation From 1927 Legislature.
