CITY RECEIVING REVENUE
A
Yes, the Occupatoin Tax seems
hard. But did you ever see any tax
that wasn’t hard
pay? The city
needs the money and the city is
YOU. The best plan is to dig up
with a smile and when it becomes
unnecessary to collect the Occupa
tion Tax it will no doubt be done
away with.
We are building a
pretty city and modern things cost
money. Like private business, how
ever, if properly conducted it wont
take long to “Get on our feet,’’ and
then the taxes will be lowered or
wiped off entirely. It’s dog tax, oc
cupation tax, water tax, city, county
state and income tax. Sure it makes
one grit hi* teeth, but we are all in
the same boat. Our City Recorder
is a good man >n the right job, and
the best way to make his acquaint
ance, and lighten his work, is to go
to the City Hall promptly with your
assessments. It will pay us all in
the long run.
It is announced that Mr. Judd
