In line with that policy, this bank, about eleven years ago, instituted a service whereby it would procure for its patrons, and others in this vicinity, tax statements; would check over these statements to see that they were correct, return them for cor rection if necessary, and would there after receive payments for taxes, for ward deposit slips and tax statements to the sheriff, procure and file the tax receipts, and pay out the tax money on checks drawn by the sheriff. To better perform this service and keep accurate records, a set of books was kept by the bank so that any tax payer could and can at any time as certain the exact amount of taxes paid in any one year by such tax payer. Each year the bank has col lected approximately $85,000.00 or more of taxes. All of the foregoing services were performed by this bank without one cent of expense to either the taxpay er or the tax collector, notwithstand ing the fact that the service saved many dollars each year to those who took advantage of it. The sheriff and other officers of the county have recently ordered that this service be discontinued, thus making it necessary for each taxpay er to hereafter attend to these mat ters personally.
