J. D. Bauman said Tues day. ( She reported that $1,011,507.26 has been received after dis counts for paying by the No vember 15 rebate deadline were deducted. ' On a percentage basis this Is slightly below last year at this time when 85 had been col lected on the roll. All payments have been pro cessed, including those mailed to the office. Most of the tax bills were paid on the Friday, Saturday and Monday just prior to and on the November 15 deadline. Prior to that time pay ments came in slowly, she said. She and Mrs. Lillian Sweek in the office reported that tax payers all seemed In a happier mood this year because the tax es were down in every code area of the county except one. "It has been one of the eas iest rolls to collect," Mrs. Irby said. While the highest percentage of taxpayers in the county pay their taxes in full by deadline, some elect to pay quarterly, and this accounts for most of the 16.5 still unpaid. However, Mrs. Irby said that some who paid in full last year by deadline time chose to pay quarterly this year. On the oth er hand, some who paid quar terly last year paid in full this year. The property tax roll was re duced because of the 4.3 mills relief from the state, and part ly because of some reduced budgets of taxing bodies.
