COQUILLE. COOS COUNTY. OREGON, FRIDAY. JUNE IS, 1938.
Second Tax Payment Due
School Meeting Next Monday
“Come early and avoid the rush,” is
the advice of the tax department of
Coos county to taxpayers. Monday,
June 15th, to the due date of the sec
ond one-quarter payment of the cur
rent year’s taxes, or the 1936 taxes.
Second quarterly papyments not
made by or on that date will draw
interest from then on at the rate of
two-thirds of one per cent per month.
It is imperative, according to the
tax department, that taxpayers bring
with them their first one-quarter re
ceipts, in- order that their second
quarterly payment may be stamped
thereon. This, in addition to giving a
record of all payments on one receipt,
will greatly facilitate the department
in giving prompt and efficient atten
tion to all taxpayers.
Next Monday evening, June 15, at
eight o'clock in the high school audi-
.orilm, will be held the annual school
meeting for district No. 8, at which
