VOLUME PUZZLES COUNTY OFFICIALS Tardiness to Tune of Over $?, . . 000,000 Difficult to Explain at This Particular Time. - VARIOUS VIEWS STATED One Says Neglect, Another Says Extravagance; Total fs Largest ' Ever Noted in County. Multnomah county officials were at a total loss today to explain the large tax delinquency amounting to slightly over $1,000,000, which was announced Thursday by E. S. Huck aby, chief deputy in the tax collect ing department. ' It came as a complete surprise to practically all of them, and the fact that it is the largest delinquency ever re corded In this county, coming during ap parently prosperous times, caused con siderable comment. "t haven't the least idea why It should have occurred. Everybody seems to have plenty of money." said Ralph W. Hoyt, chairman of the county commissioners, when asked about the matter today. . "I knew the payments had been slow," lie said, "but thought that the .rush of the last few days preceding October 6 had more than balanced the. earlier tardiness," "I didn't think the delinquency this year would be bo large as It was last year." said County Commissioner A. A. Muck. . "Can't account for It in any way un less the people are too buy buying auto mobiles and other luxuries," said Chief Deputy Tax Collector Huckaby. "Neglect is the only way I can ac count for It. nothing at present war rants such a delinquency," said County Assessor, Henry Reed. The 1918 tax roll amounted to $9,807, 654.18. Of this amount only $8,808,813.53 had been paid by October 6, leaving a 'balance of $1,000,840.63 or 10.2 per cent of the totat. The delinquency last year was $578,000 of the tax roll, or only C.S ver cent. COUNTY ALTOS DISCUSSED . Physician States His Work Would Require Two Cars., County Physician Harry R.
