Te REPORTED FAR AHEAD OF '39

409% of Fall Bills Have Been Distributed So Far,

Boetcher Says.

By HARRY MORRISON The County Treasurer's Office is|: far ahead of last year’s collections, and expects to have no trouble in keeping its three-year record of 100 per cent-plus receipts. Already about $3,000,000 of the estimated $9,000,000 half-year tax bill is in the County’s till, according to Walter C. Boetcher, County Treasurer. About 40 per

cent of the tax- | payers have!

j ally were strung

Mr. Boetcher behind the 100-

foot-long coun- |= ter and each box was packed to|S

the brim. Overflow boxes cluttered the tax record books on tables in the: background.

There’s Room To Work

A constant rush of taxpayers has decimated the tax bills on file so that there is now room to work. - “Collections were good last year, and we expect them to be somewhat better this year,” Mr. Boetcher said. | “We have had about a $2,500,000 delinquency the last three years that has remained stagnant. It. looks like we might dig into that this year.” On Oct. 26 andgNov. 2, which are the last two Saturdays before the] Nov. 4 deadline, the office will remain open until 4 p. m. to facilitate the handling of last-minute! crowds. |

Opens at 8 a. m. Daily

“There has been some confusion about this in recent years,” Mr. Boetcher said, “and we are urging all those Saturday payers who can to come in the afternoon.” The office will remain opén until| 5:30 p. m. on the deadline day. Opening time every day is 8 a. m.

Short-Handed Today

Persons having business at the Court House today will have to have more patience than usual. About 200 regular employees have volunteered and are helping with the selective service registration and most offices will be short-handed.

Judge Wilfred Bradshaw has turned loose practically his entire

staff of Juvenile Court workers. Of- |= i

fices of the treasurer, the auditor = and the recorder will also be forced | to get along with fewer clerks for one day. | When business has made it impossible to allow clerks to spend the entire day outside, they are planning to work a half-day at the Court house and then go out to registration offices. Many are cutting their afternoons short and planning to work up until 9 o'clock tonight.

$53 On Punchboard

A 12-year-old boy came before

Judge Bradshaw in Juvenile Court =

this week on charges of ‘stealing $53 from his mother.

What perplexed the judge so he could have spent it the way he dic. He played a punchboard, a _ nickel at a time, until the $53 was all gone, Judge Bradshaw learned. It took him several hours and he won once in a while, but finally all the money was gone.

13 WIN PROMOTION TO CITY DETECTIVE

Thirteen city patrolmen who have been pinch-hitting as detective investigators for the last eight months will go to bat regularly in the detective department next week as full-fledged investigators, at an increase of $50 a year over their patrolman’s salary. The men who have served their detective probationary period are: Cecil London, Lawrence McLaugh- | lin, *Roy McAuley, Albert Kelly, James Langsford, Donavan P. Ticen, Howard Hunter, John Bevan, Robert Butler, Raymond Porter, Forrest Watson, Elmer Thompson and Henry Krauss.
