Un der the new law the second install ment must be paid prior to the first day of September. Delinquency Feature Changed.

Under the latter law, taxes are payable before April 1 of each year. No rebate is allowed at all. On April 1 the txes become delin quent. A penalty of 1 per cent a month is charged on that portion of taxes paid after April 1 and paid before September J. The law, how ever, permits on one-half of the taxes being paid before April 1 and the re maining one-half to be paid prior to September 1. However, if advantage is taken of this provision, the penal-j tics heretofore set forth are computed , on the second half of the taxes until I it is paid. The act further provided that all taxes remaining unpaid on the first day of September shall become delinquent and subject to a penalty of 10 per cent and interest at the rate of 12 per cent per annum from the date YOU GET MORE THAN THE PAPER When you buy your stationery at my store, you get the benefit of my twenty-two years' experience in hand ling good paper.
